Aregbesola reveals reason behind rejection of new prisoners by correctional facilities
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola on Tuesday, November 3, explained the reason correctional centres in the country had been rejecting new suspects sent to them by the police.
According to Aregbesola, the authorities of the centres were doing so; because the process of sending the suspects to them did not follow COVID-19 protocols.
The Infostride gathered that correctional facilities have rejected many suspects sent to them by the police. The situation has left people with different speculations.
However, speaking after defending his Ministry’s 2021 budget proposal before the Senate Committee on Interior; Aregbesola said COVID-19 protocols were not complied with in sending the suspects.
Aregbesola said the ministry would soon return to the National Assembly; with a supplementary budget to enable it to rebuild all the affected correctional centres.
This is in relation to the destroyed correctional facilities in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest.
