Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) on Thursday demanded the sack of the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, for failing to stop attacks on prisons in the country, IgbereTV reports
The group was reacting to Tuesday night’s attack on the Kuje correctional centre in Abuja by the Islamic State for West African Province (ISWAP).
In a statement by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA also demanded the sack of the Minister of Defence Bashir Magashi, for incompetence.
The group said it was distasteful and condemnable that over 15 jailbreaks have occurred under Aregbesola’s watch in the last five years.
It also challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to stop asking rhetorical questions on how the country’s intelligence system failed to detect the attack on the correctional facility
