The Federal Government says it will initiate processes to possibly relocate Ikoyi prison and some of other correctional centres, from urban centres in the country to other area. Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, on Thursday.
The minister, said urbanisation has eaten into the setbacks that ought to be around correctional centres in the country. Tunji-Ojo said, “Under this administration, we’ve not had any jail attack; what we’ve had was force majeure which was Suleja, because that particular correctional centre was built in 1914. It’s about 110 years old.
