kirikiri inmate $1mn scam: NCoS suspends 9
personnel
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services
Board (CDCFIB) has approved the suspension of 3 officers and 6
other ranks of the Nigerian Correctional Service implicated in the
alleged internet fraud, suspected to have been perpetrated by Hope
Olusegun Aroke, an inmate serving a term of imprisonment in
Kirikiri Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Lagos.
This is based on the preliminary report of the investigation
panel earlier constituted by the Controller General of the Service,
Jaáfaru Ahmed which indicted the officers of complexity in the
scandal.
The Controller General who handed down the suspension order,
noted that the task of correcting maladjusted persons in the
society requires a measure of moral rectitude to make positive
impact on offenders in custody. He therefore restates the
irreversible commitment of the authority to ensure that those
without adequate strength of character and integrity are not
allowed to taint the sanctity of the Nigerian Correctional
Service.
