Nigeria's Minister of Interior, Hon. (Dr.) Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has ordered for a comprehensive and unconditional investigation into the allegations of bribery and corruption within the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) 

Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who has insisted on professionalism, transparency and good conduct by paramilitary services within the supervision of his ministry since assuming office in 2023, has unequivocally condemned the alleged reprehensible behaviour.

He has continuously emphasized that any form of indiscipline, unprofessionalism, and corruption will be met with zero tolerance and severe consequences within the paramilitary services under the Ministry’s purview.

“The Ministry will not tolerate any compromise on its core values of integrity, transparency, and accountability. We will leave no stone unturned in rooting out corruption and ensuring that those found culpable face the full wrath of the law,” Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo said.

The Minister has called for a special investigative team headed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, to probe these allegations and submit a comprehensive report. 

The Minister reassures the public that the investigation will be rigorous, transparent, and impartial, and that appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken against any personnel found guilty.

This was contained in a statement issued and signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Babatunde Alao and made available to journalists on Wednesday in Abuja.
