He continued: “At the moment, we have deployed technology gadgets in Kuje and we are monitoring every movement in that custodial centre from a situation room recently commissioned by Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola. “So, in the light of this, the Service collaborates with security agencies, government parastatals, non-governmental agencies, civil societies and the media, among others to further its operations.
Given attacks on personnel and custodial facilities, Umar was asked whether there is an efficient insurance policy in place for both personnel and the facilities.
