Aregbesola Prescribes Death For Attackers Of Correctional Centres
Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has directed officers of correctional centres to shoot and kill anybody who attempts to attack any of the centres across the country.
The minister, who gave the order during the inspection of the correctional facility at the Agodi Custodial Centre, Ibadan, urged the officers to make the facility impregnable for any attacker, noting that it is a red zone.
Aregbesola said any attempt to attack any of the correctional centres in any part of the country is a suicide attempt and perpetrators must not be allowed to live to tell the story.
The former two-term governor of Osun State said: “The most important thing is the security impregnability of this facility. Make this facility impregnable.
“It is a red zone, dangerous zone. Whoever attempts to breach the security here is already dead. He must not live to tell the story. Other people will tell his or her story.
“Any effort to breach our facility is not acceptable. Don’t shoot to injure, shoot to kill. Don’t shoot to disable, shoot to kill. This is a total embodiment of the state to guarantee the security of the people.
“We will do our best regarding your welfare to ensure effective service. I must commend your work for not recording any case of COVID-19 in your facility.
“But most importantly, you must be effective in preventing the penetration of this facility. You must have the capacity to repel viciously any attempt to penetrate this facility.”
