The Nigerian Prisons Service suspended 14 officers: see why

The Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) has suspended 14 officers in connection with the recent Kuje Prison break where two high profile inmates, Solomon Amodu and Maxwell Ajukwu standing trial for culpable homicide escaped.

This is contained in a statement issued by the spokesperson of NPS, Mr Francis Enobore, on Monday in Abuja.

The affected officers and men are: DCP Musa Tanko; SIP Buhari Dogo; PIP Stephen Edogbanya ; PIP Patrick Teru; IP Usman Peter; IP Dennis Makum, IP Fassan Akin; SPA Daka James; SPA Adamu Luka; SPA Zakari Yunasa; PA Asnamal Samuel; PA Ejegwa Patrick; PA 11 Isah Ibrahim, and PA 11 Ngede Salifu.

The statement reads: “The Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board (CDFIPB) have approved the suspension of four senior officers.

“The suspension is sequel to the outcome of the preliminary investigation into the incident and in consonance with PSR 030406 (2008) Revised Version; the officers were suspended from duty to allow for unhindered trial process.

“The commissioned officers among them are to be served with letters of query, while the junior staff will be given Form 96 (Charge Sheet) to explain their role in the unfortunate saga.

“This is in addition to tightening security measures in and around prison formations nationwide to forestall a repeat of such incident.

“The controller general wishes to solicit the cooperation of members of the public to volunteer useful information that will assist in the recapture of the fugitives,’’ the statement said.
