Following Monday’s jailbreak at Kabba Medium Custodial Facility and the subsequent release of high profile criminals, the Kogi State Government has blamed political saboteurs and terrorists for the security breach.

Confirming that the government received an intelligence report of planned attacks on facilities in the state, Fanwo said action was immediately taken and that 20 soldiers were deployed to beef up security at the correctional centre but something went wrong at the execution. “Everyone in Nigeria today knows Kogi State is one of the safest states. It is not that we do not have flashes of crimes here and there; it is that we have a system that can deal with that promptly and adequately.

Fanwo said the state government has learnt vital lessons from the jailbreak that would propel it to review and rejig its security architecture to fashion out ways it can deploy personnel to secure federal agencies. “We also incorporated local vigilantes and hunters into our state security architecture who work in synergy with security agencies. We discovered that the locals were not giving information to the police for fear of being implicated.
