Odimmegwa Johnpeter/Abuja.
Federal Government has inaugurated an independent investigative panel to probe allegations of corruption and gross violations of standard operating procedures within the Nigeria Correctional Service NCoS.
Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo who inaugurated the committee on Monday in Abuja said the committee must also look at the recent allegation that some correctional service personnel had provided an alternative accommodation for convicted cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky
The panel, according to the Minister became necessary in order to sanitize the Service towards attaining transparency and accountability.
Recall that the Minister, who is also the Chairman of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), had suspended several officers overseeing the Maximum and Minimum Custodial Centres in Kirikiri, Lagos State, following allegations of misconduct involving Bobrisky.
