NCoS Battles Flooding in Maiduguri, Contrary to Reports of Jailbreak
The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) is working tirelessly to address the devastating impact of the recent flooding on our facilities in Maiduguri, particularly the Medium Security Custodial Centre.
The unfortunate incident is a natural disaster caused by the overflow and collapse of the Alau Dam in Konduga Local Government Area.
As the agency responsible for the safekeeping of inmates, we want to assure the public that we are taking all necessary measures to ensure public safety.
