In a sweeping disciplinary action aimed at sanitising Nigeria’s correctional system, the Federal Government has dismissed 15 officers and demoted 59 others over acts of gross misconduct and violations of service regulations.
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), which oversees disciplinary matters within the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), approved the sanctions following a review of 224 cases of alleged misconduct.
