Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Lagos State, on Wednesday confirmed an attack on its personnel at the Lagos High Court, Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), during a hearing for inmates.<\/p>\n

The Lagos state NCoS spokesperson, Mr Olarotimi Oladokun, confirmed the attack in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, saying the attack was staged by persons suspected to be associates of an inmate with a view to hijacking him.<\/p>\n

He further confirmed that one of the attackers was shot while trying to dispossess an armed personnel of his rifle.<\/p>\n

He said the attackers intended to forcefully hijack an inmate while at the premises of the court.<\/p>\n

According to Oladokun, the Controller of Corrections (CC), NCoS Lagos, Mr Adewale Adebisi, quickly deployed a task force to the court premises to ensure that no inmate escaped.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis quick response and vigilance of the NCoS court escorts thwarted their attempt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further confirmed that all inmates were successfully returned to the Custodial center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NCoS Lagos Controller eulogised the gallant officers for resisting the attack and securing all inmates back to custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe controller also assured the public that the security of Lagos custodial Centers remains intact.<\/p>\n

\u201dHe further commended other security agencies, especially the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) and the Nigerian Army for their timely response to restore normalcy,\u201d Oladokun said.<\/p>\n
