Nigerian Correctional Service: The wages of neglect
It is quite unfortunate that the Nigerian Correctional Service is in the news not for the invaluable efforts and sacrifices of the officers and men of the service but for unconstructive condemnation, particularly by those with poor knowledge of the plight, operations, and activities of the service. The most disturbing of these criticisms is the audacity of those who are constitutionally responsible for the operation of the service to also join in the condemnation.
Between 2017 and July 2022, about 15 custodial centres have been attacked, with over 3,000 inmates let loose. Despite these system-induced failures, the service has been working tirelessly to ensure that her constitutional responsibilities of safe custody of legally interned persons, movement of inmates to and from courts, reformation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of inmates remain her priorities.
Of all the security agencies in Nigeria, the Nigerian Correctional Service receives the least attention from the federal and state governments despite the significant role it plays in national security. An agency that generates little or no income but is central to national development is left to care for itself.
During national security council meetings, the three security agencies under the armed forces are duly represented by their heads. The chief of defence staff and the minister of defence are present, so is the minister of police affairs and the Inspector General of Police. The head of the Nigerian Correctional Service and other security agencies under the Ministry of Interior are absent—represented by their minister, a political appointee with little or no knowledge of the activities of the services.
The president has never had a one-on-one discussion with the head of the correctional service. How then, does the controller general of this important agency share his experience, challenges, achievements and intelligence with the president?
Does it mean that the security agencies in the Ministry of Interior are not important? Why the hullabaloo whenever the available security and efficiency in the custodial centres are breached and inmates on the run if the agency is neither important enough nor worthy to be heard directly by the President?
Does this not amount to shedding crocodile tears?
The structures in the custodial centres and those in the barracks for staff are largely those of the colonial era. Others were put in place by individuals who had either passed time in these centres or out of generosity. Efforts have only been made on paper to reform the custodial service system in Nigeria.
Logistics is another major problem the service has been striving hard to address to ensure that inmates are taken to and from courts as at when due. The means of transporting inmates are grossly inadequate and/or archaic. Working tools are hardly available. The few available ones are outdated and do not fit for modern day security arrangements. No custodial centre in the country has a functional closed-circuit television (CCTV), while many have never had any installation of a closed-circuit television. Staff buses are not available across the states of the federation. Only the federal capital territory has one or two. The staff are often cramped up with inmates in the regular rickety Green Maria, to and from court duties. In a nutshell, the working conditions of service, both in the custodial centres and on court duties, are pathetic.
The service is understaffed, especially in custodial centres that are overcrowded. The few available are overused. Some are on duty for not less than 13 to 15 hours a day, depending on the state of activities at a custodial centre. Leave and allowances are not the rights of a Nigerian Correctional Service staff. Most staff are on duty for years without benefitting from annual and other leaves as stipulated in the Public Service Rules. They only enjoy scattered days off duty.

Allowances as contained in the Public Service Rules are not paid to staff. Promotion is a privilege and not a right. Arrears are not paid to promoted staff when due. Whenever they pay for this entitlement, many do not get theirs, while the few that get are grossly underpaid. The few available outdated staff quarters do not accommodate 10% of the available staff.
For years, it has been mere talk without action on changing the service uniform. This has lingered and is fast becoming a foregone project. The much-touted harmonisation of ranks and salaries to match those of other security agencies, particularly the police, is a mere political statement. The officers and men of this service are passing through their own hell on earth.
On custodial centres congestion and its consequences, the judiciary is a major contributor to this cankerworm. It is very easy for our learned fellows to speak in public forums on the inadequacies of the correctional service but keep mute on their roles in the long list of awaiting trial inmates in these custodial centres. Over 80 percent of the inmates in custodial centres across the federation are awaiting trial. Many of these inmates do not know their adjournment dates due largely to the everyday absence of their magistrates and judges without prior notice to the officers of the correctional service or their lawyers. The judiciary does not have a database of all the suspects standing trial in their respective courts. This could have been used to prepare reproduction warrants for all the inmates standing trial in their courts who, for one reason or the other, had missed their adjournment dates to appear in their respective courts on later dates.
Magistrates and judges attend seminars; go on long vacations, and other “judicial assignments” at the expense of inmates standing trials in their courts. Their cases are not assigned to available judges/courts but adjourned farther without recourse to the time inmates spend awaiting trial. This leaves many inmates anxious in the custodial centres with more work for the custodial officers.
The prosecuting agencies, largely dominated by the police, have been another major contributor to the needless congestion of the Nigerian Correctional Service. Globally, investigation precedes arrest. But for the prosecuting agencies in Nigeria, arrest comes before investigation. Without equipping themselves with enough evidence to prosecute their cases, they inundate courts with remand orders, keeping suspects beyond the constitutionally allowed time while awaiting trials. In the long run, they lose most of these cases for lack of admissible and/or convicting evidence.
Unfortunately, many suspects are in police and EFCC custody and custodial centres today without charges. They are at the mercy of the remand orders given by courts/judges that ought to know better and check these anomalies. But they are not helping matters. They keep inmates in custodial centres with no witnesses to pursue their cases. The courts, rather than discharging such cases for want of due diligence prosecution, leave these inmates in custodial centres adding to the already overstretched facilities.
On the state of the custodial centres, the respective state governments care less about their activities. Many of the inmates are state offenders. Unfortunately, the state governments, particularly Lagos and Rivers states (with the largest number of state inmates in the federation), have contributed little or nothing to the operations of Nigerian Correctional Service. The administration of criminal justice system is seated on a tripod of police, judiciary, and correctional service. Of these agencies, the correctional service receives tokens from the state governments compared to the number of state inmates in their facilities. Out of every 200 vehicles, for instance, bought by a state government for security agencies, hardly does the correctional service get two to three of these vehicles. And this comes once in a blue moon.

The armed forces are reasonably funded and equipped. Same with the police, but the correctional service is left to beg to be funded and equipped. And we want the centres to be formidable and immune from attacks?
No matter how well the armed forces and the police are funded, equipped and reformed, if the Nigerian Correctional Service is not better funded, equipped and reformed to perform its constitutionally responsibilities, all these efforts will be in vain; national security will be threatened and national development will be impossible.

A wholistic appraisal needs to be carried out on the department (Nigerian Correctional Service). There is a whole lot going on there that has dampened staff morale. The EFCC, ICPC etc need to beam their search light on the department.
A whole lot needs to be done as it concerns improved staff welfare - arrears, implementation of harmonisation, replacement of obsolete arms etc.

3rd March, 2020 will forever remain etched in my memory. Lost my Dad to the cold hands of death. Right before my eyes on the hospital bed, baba left this fleeting world & life has never been the same.

Bro, please I just need 1.50 - 2odds to stake big. Can you help a brother biko

baby124:
Get a good lawyer dear. Make sure you include the land your foolish step brother is living on as part of your fathers estate, so his share will be further reduced. Also get security in your compound to keep a close eye on him. Go to police and lodge a record of his threats. Let them invite him to sign an undertaking. Should anything happen to you or your mum, he will be arrested.

Will keep that in mind. Thanks so very much for this wonderful piece of advice.

delishpot:
Poster, happy new year. Sorry about dad's passing. As for your step bro, I will put you in prayer. Don't challenge him to a battle no matter what. Disagree with him if you must, but dont make an open challenge. Keeo calm and see how it will play out.

Thanks so very much for your kind words & advise. At this point I & my family will need all the prayers we can get. Will very much appreciate if you remember us in your prayers. Thanks a bunch Bro.

olatuns2017:



A case in hand was the resolution the House passed on Wednesday mandating its Committee on Reformatory Institutions to investigate the appalling working conditions, lack of facilities and the poor welfare of the personnel and inmates of the Nigerian Correctional Service.

The House had said services at most correctional centres had not improved in spite of the over N165billion budgetary allocations made to the NCS in the last two years.

The motion was moved by the Minoriry Leader of the House, Rep. Ndudi Godwin Elumelu, a Peoples Democratic Party lawmaker.

17/02/2022

Those who will be overjoyed at this development will be the immediate constituents (staffs) of the Nigerian Correctional Service not minding the political brouhaha between the minister & his erstwhile political godfather. For any one who's had any contact with the staffs of NCoS will have no option than to agree with the Honourable member (minority leader) of the lower house who raised the motion. You need to see the appalling working conditions staffs are subjected to as well as the poor welfare of personnel - you'll shed tears if you listen to stories of both retired & serving personnel.
The motion by the minority leader is a welcomed development if it will bring sanity to the service & succor to staff (in terms of improved working conditions, good welfare for staffs & inmates, boost personnel morale which will stem the incessant jailbreak).
If the Minister has no skeletons in his cupboard, then there is nothing to fear.

It's not about shooting attackers on sight. The solution instead should be improved staff welfare. The welfare of staffs of the NCoS is nothing to write home about and this has dampened the morale of staffs to put in 100%. Improve staff welfare & watch jail breaks reduced to a barest minimum. #MyTwoCents #CommonSenseConstituency

An histology slide

Please how much do you guys charge for blood group & genotype test?

First and foremost the question that should be asked is:
1. In whose custody was he before being convicted? If he was remanded in a correctional facility and was brought to the court by the correctional officers, then they have the right to convey the offender back to the facility since they're in possession of the offender's warrant. But if Maina was in the custody of the EFCC and was brought to court by them, the ounce falls on them to take him down to the correctional facility to be remanded/jailed.
From all indications though, it seems Maina was brought to the court by the correctional officers.
Besides why was he conveyed in a Hilux and not the usual green Maria? #JustThinkingOutLoud

James4358:
it's me,. Am a deputy supt. At the nigerian correctional service,. You know what that means. My story happened exactly one year ago. Today marks the anniversary of the said day i left the hospital.

OP I commend you for upholding the wishes of a dying man, that was a brave one. I will like to link up with you. I also work with the said establishment mentioned above. Thank you.

Can I be added to the WhatsApp group - 07030703188. Thank you

yanabasee2:
This is happening either in Calabar or Akwa Ibom state....


The people there are very greedy and often have kids out of wedlock and the children often become a torn in their flesh.... it's a normal practice over there..... Reasons why those studying law and becoming lawyers are very good at defending land issues only...


OP, sometimes, this case takes a wrong turn having one party go diabolical to win all cases or using hoodlums to intimidate the other party and bribing the police force to stay away from it...


I'll ask that you involve elders of the land and seek their advice...


Good luck!

From your username, seems you're from this parts. You're not far from the truth Bro. Indeed he has been a thorn in our flesh. He's been at loggerheads with my dad even until his demise. I'm just tired of the whole scenario playing out now because I never bargained for this. The least the old man should have done was leave behind a will which will avert this whole drama. Even my old man had always pointed out that he knows the young man will be a problem in the event of his death.

I am from the Southern part of Nigeria- South South precisely, .... So folks, I have been having sleepless nights as it pertains to an issue that bothers me a whole lot. Lost my dad around March 2020 (He died intestate) burial rites and all that concluded. Some months after the burial our attention was drawn to a newspaper publication concerning letter of administration which to our shock was done by my step-brother without prior notification/consultation with the rest of the family. We had to go to the probate court to confirm things for ourselves, lo & behold there was everything in black & white. It was at this point I had to enlighten the probate guys that we weren't aware of what's going on & besides everyone is not fully represented/captured by the said publication. My dad had two children out of wedlock - my step step-brother who is the first son, my immediate step sister(from another woman too) who is the second child.
With proper explanation, the first application was trashed & a new one put up capturing all parties involved. My step brother has been the one communicating more with the probate guys & I smell something shady/fishy is going on because even I asked to go through the earlier application, the lady in the probate office refused that. Aside that my step-brother has been throwing threats of how he was going to throw my mom & invariably I out of the main house because he occupies a building behind the main house. This threats have been a cause for concern for me because I don't want any troubles as it concerns my mom - who is retired & should be enjoying her retirement in peace & not some full grown man putting everyone on high alert because he refused to make hay while the sun shined.
Please I'm soliciting the advice of legal luminaries/minds on possible legal action(s) to be taken to help forestall breakdown of law & order.

Mod please help push to front page.

Compliments of the day to you. Please aside this, do you have other vacancies available in Calabar? Thank you.

LadyRosa:
Lol...
As I stubborn reach na so so quiet men dey date me. So I've had great experience from past relationships and currently another quiet one dey my side. What I noticed with them


They are highly intelligent, don't talk much, don't mingle much, social function almost zero.
Them sabi cook oooo! Few clothes, expensive or not, they are well arranged,ironed.No scatter scatter. So once I'm looking for something they help me look for it because I go scatter their wardrobe and leave it like that! No time!

They are calculated and secretive. Don't gossip at all. Going into their house and coming out seems like sneeking around, so people don't know if they are in or out.

Don't like loud music.Those who go to club rarely dance, them go dey laugh who dey dance . When they decide to party, the subsequent days makes them really dull and want to 'rest'. Even during outings after few laughs and a drink with plenty water, next na to pick their car keys or flag down a taxi , time to go

Don't wear loud bright dresses. Dull dresses are their Craze.

Observe rather than talk. When they talk everyone is silent.

No toasting, they were too shy to say their mind. They will look and make few remarks, then look again. Relationship usually start from me taking the lead by keeping them talking with questions. "Do you like me?" that's enough to make them blush with relief and acceptance.

Spend thrifts. Show offs is foolishness to them.Not really into social media, few pics, most times like to be anonymous. Also, they can be nasty in secret.

Gadget lovers. Will spend money on the latest Playstation.Dont mind playing against computer for hours. Those who don't like video games, hardly watch football matches or are simply in different about sports. The passionate ones likes to watch it indoors, if they must watch outside na only them go sit down one corner for chair like zombie.
Simplicity. Eating out is not their need, so if they must, mostly snacks rather than cooked food. Neat freeks!
Forgives easily but with serious warning.
Don't like the silent treatment during quarrel. They will appear calm at first but, Na lie . Just pretend you no longer find them attractive or appealing and all hell breaks loose.
Not too romantic but very supportive and reasonable. Calm in the face of overwhelming trouble. Why others are panicky, they keep clear head, and think of solving issues diplomatically.
The ones who cheats do it well. You may never notice because they will never pick the other woman's frantic calls, if them too disturb they block them temporarily till further _drilling notice.Them no just like wahala from nags.
Have soft spot for women and can easily be manipulated to give out cash to them even without sleeping with them. Even an ex will continue to reap them off Even if they are no longer interested.
Don't get angry easily, but when they get you'd be sorry. Really really sorry and disappointed in yourself. They will lay all your 4ck ups and corner your defense on every angle

But them still dey talk o, but na inside house. Abuse them and meet a brick wall, no reaction. As my mouth sharp reach, I don't use bad words on them like I do on the street,They hardly use insults to drive home their point once an argument be like say e won bring insult, they ignore and find their way out. There are people that their level of maturity controls what you say.

This is so on point & some of the attributes/characteristics stated here best describes me.
