THE Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Kogi State Command, has ordered the immediate arrest of an officer over alleged complicity in the disappearance of two rifles and some quantities of ammunition.

David Igbago, the Controller of Corrections of the Command, ordered the arrest of the officer.

A statement issued by Nihi Sesan, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, said the unnamed officer has been put through an administrative mechanism and handed over to a relevant security agency for further interrogation.

“The missing items were discovered during a routine monthly audit of arms and ammunition in the Command’s armoury.

“While the suspect is being grilled, the State Controller has vowed to ensure that no stone will be left unturned in unravelling the circumstances surrounding the criminal act and bringing the culprits to justice,” the statement said.

The State Controller assured members of the public of his commitment to the security of Kogi State in general and the Custodial Centres in the state in particular.

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) is an arm of the Criminal Justice System domiciled in the Ministry of Interior.
