Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has dismissed three officers and sanctioned others for misconduct.<\/p>\n

The Service Public Relations Officer, Abubakar Umar, an Assistant Controller of Corrections (ACC), disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Umar said that the service, to maintain a high standard of discipline and professionalism, reviewed various cases of unprofessional conduct of affected staff.<\/p>\n

He said the cases were that of gross negligence of duty, absence without leave, trafficking in illicit items, and general inefficiency.<\/p>\n

The spokesman added that 20 personnel were discharged and acquitted.<\/p>\n

Umar said: \u201cThis is for the various offences which they were accused of; while one officer who was previously suspended was reinstated after the review exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, a total of three personnel were compulsorily retired, six personnel had their ranks reduced, while 13 personnel attracted either verbal or plain warning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese sanctions are in line with the zero tolerance on staff misconduct, a cardinal mantra of the Controller General of Corrections, Haliru Nababa, and targeted towards ridding the Service of unscrupulous elements and misfits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is to improve professionalism as well as to entrench discipline, ethics, and excellence in its officers and men.\u201dBalanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.<\/p>\n
