The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has dismissed two personnel and sanctioned 35 others for misconduct.
The Service Public Relations Officer, Abubakar Umar, disclosed this through a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said actions are aimed at ensuring discipline among personnel of the Service.
The officers, according to him, were sanctioned for misconducts ranging from trafficking in contrabands, unauthorised absence from duty, stealing, negligence of duty, criminal conspiracy as well as aiding and abetting.
The spokesman added that the offences constitute threats to the security of correctional facilities and could jeopardise public safety and national security.
