A security breach at the Lagos State High Court, Tafawa Balewa Square, was thwarted by the Nigerian Correctional Service Armed squad (TBS).
CSC. Oladokun, the Nigerian Correctional Service’s Lagos State Command’s Public Relations Officer, confirmed the event in a statement on Monday, November 1. According to him, armed NCS agents stopped an attempt by some assailants to forcibly free a convict on the court grounds.
One of the attackers was shot while attempting to steal a pistol from an armed guard, according to Oladokun.
“Persons suspected of being companions of an inmate brought to the Lagos High Court for a hearing staged an attack on escort officials in an attempt to forcefully release the inmate while on the premises of the Court. However, the NCOS court escorts’ prompt response and vigilance prevented their plan “he explained.
“To avert a collapse of law and order, a security reinforcement was promptly dispatched to the courthouse. All detainees have been successfully returned to the Correctional Service’s secure custody.”
During the ensuing scuffle, one of the attackers was shot while attempting to seize an armed personnel’s firearm, InsightnaijaTV Reports.
“Adewale Adebisi, the Controller of Corrections, praised the brave police for repelling the onslaught and returning the offender to jail. He informs the public that all Custodial Centres’ security is unaffected. He expressed gratitude to other security services, particularly the Nigerian Police Force, for their prompt response in assisting in the restoration of normalcy.”
