Nigerians on social media have reacted to the recent order issued by the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
Recall that the minister recently ordered security personnel attached to the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to kill anyone who attempts to breach security at correctional facilities, Daily Trust reports.
He described Correctional (Prison) facilities across the country as a red zone, saying anyone who attempt to attack it should not live to tell the story.
Aregebsola, who gave the directive while addressing senior officers at the Agodi Custodial Centre of the NCoS, said such people should not be allowed to live.

He said:
"The most important thing is the security impregnability of this facility. This is a red zone, dangerous zone. Whoever attempts to breach the facility is already dead. He must not live to tell the story.
“Any effort to breach our facility is not acceptable. Don’t shot to injure but shot to kill for any reason. This is a total embodiment of the state to guarantee the security of the people.”
However many Nigerians say the minister has no right to make such an order since is he is not a governor or president.
Other people said Aregbesola the minister did not consider some factors before making such pronouncement.

"Did the minister ever considered the advantage with which his untrained officers will fire their onslaught on innocent citizen and for other unsanctioned activities?"
