The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has declared all correctional centres across the country as red zones ahead of the planned nationwide protests scheduled for Monday, which are calling for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja by the Service’s Public Relations Officer, Abubakar Umar.
Umar advised members of the public to stay away from correctional facilities, describing them as restricted areas.
“The public is hereby informed that all correctional centres are declared as red zones. The NCoS reiterates that correctional centres are restricted areas.
“Anyone who has no official business therein should stay away to avoid any untoward incidents or security breaches,” he said.
Umar urged Nigerians to exercise caution and cooperate with security agencies to ensure a peaceful and safe environment during the planned demonstrations.
He emphasised the importance of respecting restricted areas, particularly correctional facilities, in order to prevent any disruptions or security concerns.
