The Honourable Minister of Interior, Hon. (Dr.) Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has taken grave exception to a disturbing video report on Facebook alleging that inmates at Afokang Custodial Centre in Calabar are being subjected to inhumane treatment, including being served poorly cooked beans as breakfast.
The Minister views this incident as a serious breach of the standards of care and dignity to which inmates are entitled.
He has directed a comprehensive and urgent investigation into this matter, and those responsible will be held accountable.
The Minister warned that any lapses in the quality of food, sanitation, and welfare of inmates will not be tolerated, adding that the service must ensure inmates are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
The Honourable Minister said that he will not condone any form of mistreatment or neglect of individuals in custody.
He assured that the findings of the investigation will be made public, and necessary disciplinary actions will be taken.
