The security around the Osyn state Correctional Centre has been tightened, NewsSpecng learnt.
The latest action which saw the deployment of operatives of the Department of State Security, the police and even the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp may not be unconnected to the recent jailbreak that occurred at Ilesa medium correction centre, Osun State.
When reporters visited the Ayeso area, where the facility was located, armed military and other security operatives, including armed-wielding DSS, Police, and NSCDC, were stationed at the facility.
Newsmen were not allowed to enter the facility, but the hooded security operatives were visible for everyone to see.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer, Osun Command, Joel Oyedokun, confirmed that security has been beefed up around the facility.
He added that the State Commandant, Corrections Centre, have relocated to Ilesa to personally supervise the manhunt for the escapees.
“The Army, DSS are working with us to bring back those who escaped from the facility”, he said.
