JUST IN: FG Reveals Why Prisons Reject New Suspects

The Federal Government has revealed why authorities of the nation’s correctional centres are rejecting new suspects being sent to them by the police.

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who spoke on behalf of the Federal Government on Tuesday, said authorities of the nation’s correctional centres are rejecting new suspects being sent to them by the police because the action was not in compliance with the COVID-19 protocols.

He also said his Ministry would approach the National Assembly with a supplementary budget soon to rebuild all the correctional centres destroyed during the protests that followed the #EndSARS protests recently
