Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong has condemned the attack on the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Jos on Sunday when gunmen stormed the facility in large number with sophisticated weapons.

Governor Lalong while condemning the unfortunate incident however praised the gallantry of officers and men of the Custodial Centre who rose to the occasion to thwart the plans of the criminals whose mission was to facilitate the escape of inmates and also cause destruction to the facility.

Lalong also praised the quick reaction of other security agencies including the Police, Operation Safe Haven, DSS, NSCDC and Operation Rainbow who responded swiftly to the situation and took charge of the general area leading to entrapment of the assailants as well as arrest of fleeing inmates.

While describing the sad event as one too many in the nation, Lalong said it was time a holistic approach is applied in bringing such attacks and jail breaks to an end in order to guarantee the safety of inmates, correctional officers, and the larger society from criminals who choose to attack the very essence of Nigeria’s legal system by disrupting law and order.

The Governor asked the citizens of the State to remain calm and go about their legitimate duties with utmost vigilance by reporting any suspicious activity to security agencies for prompt and decisive action.

He said the Government will continue to make Plateau unfavorable for criminals by sustaining the proactive measures adopted against all criminal enterprises.
