xMinister of the interior, Rauf Aregbesola, made the declaration in Abuja while addressing all field squadron unit commanders of the armed squad of the Nigeria Correctional service, (NCOs). “From today all our custodial centres have been declared red zones. According to the minister, the custodial facilities are a symbol of the authority of the Nigerian State. During the #ENDSARS riots of late last year, there were coordinated attacks on custodial centres in Edo State, while an unsuccessful attempt was made in Lagos. He said, “all unit squadron commanders here present must work together to achieve overall success.”\
