A statement issued in Abuja by the NPS spokesman, Francis Enobore, said: “The attention of the authorities of the Nigerian Prisons Service has been drawn to a trending video clip showing some prisons officers assaulting a civilian.

“Consequently, the Controller General of Prisons has constituted a team to carry out investigation into the incident and forward the report to his office for immediate action.
