A statement released by the Service spokesperson, Umar Abubakar, on Wednesday, said the sanctions were part of efforts to ensure discipline of its personnel and entrench international correctional best practices.

The statement further explained that the action which was carried out after indepth investigation was based on the fact that the offences constitute threats to security of correctional facilities, and is capable of jeopardising public safety and national security.
