The federal government has issued a warning to criminals not to attempt to break into any jail in the country.
Rauf Aregbesola, Minister of Interior, issued this warning during the 64th ministerial press briefing at the State House on Thursday.
According to the Minister, there have been recent attempts, but many of them have been repulsed and such individuals have been killed.
He further underlined that with their captured biometrics as well as the state of the art recreational facilities erected in the six geopolitical zones across the country, the chances of criminals successfully breaking into any facility have been significantly minimized.
He equally stated that the Ministry has deported at least 70 foreign nationals for various infractions in the last two years.
The majority of those deported, he noted, were from the Democratic Republic of Korea, Egypt, Sri Lanka among others.
Also, the interior ministry disclosed that a total of 309 Nigerians have so far renounced their citizenship in the last 16 years, with 150 Nigerians renouncing in 2022 alone.
