The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has disclosed that Inmates in the country now have their National Identity Numbers (NIN) captured in the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) database due to ongoing registration
The Service said 74 per cent of the inmates, representing 59,786 of the 80,879 inmates, have been captured in the database of NIMC.
The Public Relations Officer of the Correctional Service, Deputy Comptroller of Corrections, Umar Abubakar, said this was made possible by the collaboration between NIMC and the Service.
Abubakar dismissed reports that the National Identity Number (NIN) registration exercise had yet to commence in all custodial centres across the country.
“This report is misleading, inaccurate, and does not reflect the current state of affairs within our custodial facilities,” Abubakar said in a statement.
