The Senate has directed its Committee on Interior to commence an investigation to unravel circumstances behind incessant jailbreaks in the country. The lawmakers during plenary on Tuesday directed the committee to invite the Minister of Interior, the Comptroller General for the Nigeria Correctional Service and the Attorney General of the Federation to investigate the status of correctional centres nationwide. This according to the lawmakers is to also prevent future recurrence of jailbreaks. Senator Gyang says the attack is a setback to the relative peace in Plateau North and called for an efficient reinforcement and security management system to prevent attacks at correctional centers across the country.
