Borno Govt Reaffirms Support for Correctional Services as New State Controller Assumes Office


The newly appointed 22nd Controller of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) in Borno State, Ibrahim Bawa, has pledged closer collaboration with the Borno State Government to strengthen correctional reforms and security efforts.

Bawa, who was formerly in charge of the Bauchi Custodial Centre, made the commitment during a courtesy visit to the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Prof. Usman Tar, at the Musa Usman Secretariat, Maiduguri.

Accompanied by key officials including Squadron Officer CSP Shettima Limanti, Staff Officer Umoru Jauro, and Public Relations Officer Bala A. Tisa Bawa expressed appreciation for the state government's continued support, particularly during the September 2024 Maiduguri flood disaster when relief materials were provided to inmates.

"I am here on a familiarization visit and to appreciate the unwavering support of the Borno State Government, especially during the recent flood disaster, where essential relief materials were conveyed to the inmates, as confirmed by my predecessor," Bawa stated.

Responding on behalf of the state government, Prof. Tar welcomed the new Controller, assuring him of the administration’s sustained partnership with security agencies.

"We are pleased that a son of the soil, who understands the terrain, has assumed this crucial role. The Nigerian Correctional Service is integral to the criminal justice system, and as the focus shifts from mere incarceration to correctional rehabilitation, our support remains critical," he said.

The commissioner further reaffirmed the government's commitment to enhancing the justice system, highlighting recent interventions such as the passage of the Criminal Justice Act and housing allocations for correctional service personnel.

"We will continue to work closely with you, particularly in reshaping public perceptions of correctional facilities. They are not condemned communities but places of rehabilitation and reintegration, and together, we shall change that narrative," Prof. Tar added.

The event was attended by senior officials of the Ministry including the Permanent Secretary, Modu Alhaji Mustapha (FCNA) Director of Administration and Supply, Babagana Mustapha, and Director of Information, Malama Habiba. Also in attendance was the Special Adviser and Spokesperson to the Governor, Mallam Dauda Iliya.

Tonight, my aunt's bar was brimming with customers, some drinking while others munched on peppered beef.

I had come over to help her with the customers because most of her staff had left for the holiday.

Just by the door of the bar sat a lone man, with 7 empty bottles of Heineken on the table before him.

I had been serving him since he arrived shortly before 3 p.m., with his last order being ten minutes ago, around 7:15. The man never ordered meat, nor rice, nor the several grilled fish on our menu, just beer, beer, and more beer.

I was beginning to worry that another sip from his almost-finished bottle would cause his already inflated stomach to burst, when the man called for me. I rushed over from the serving counter to meet him by the door.

Me: You called me, sir.

Him: *slurring* Yeeesss, cooome. Come... *pointing to other customers at their own tables*... Are those people or are those chairs or am I just drunk?

Me: *smiling* Those are people, sir.

Him: If theeey're people, then give theeem drinks, one bottle for each. If they're just chairs, organize them 'cause more people are coming.

Me: *smiling cause I've just landed a good one* So, I should give everyone one bottle of drink?

Him: Yes.

Me: Okay, sir... *tries to leave but the man pulls me back by my shirt*...

Him: Do you drinnnk, boyyy?

Me: Yes, sir, I do. I do.

Him: Then take a bottle, too. Take five if you want.

Me: *smiling* Thank you so much, sir. Thank you.

Him: Don't worry. I'm just happppyy today. Happyyy... *I try to leave but he calls me back again*... Wait, boy, is that a person passing on the road?... *he's pointing outside*...

Me: Yes, sir.

Him: Then give him a drink. One for the road... *looks back*... Who's that person behind your counter?

Me: That's my aunt, sir.

Him: Give her one bottle, too. One bottle for everyone.

Me: Okay, sir... *I leave to our counter and begin serving everyone drink, courtesy of the man. Each person I offer a drink turns to the man with thanks blabbing from their oily lips*

—10:25 p.m.—

Most of the people in the bar have already left, but the man is still sitting near the door by himself. Since we'll be closing soon, I go over to offer him his bills...

Me: *handing him the bill* This is your bill, sir.

Him: *peers at the paper* So all these are the bills of the beers you gave?

Me: Yes, sir.

Him: How many did I take from here?

Me: You took 8 bottles, sir. The remaining 61 bottles are the ones I gave out.

Him: So, I'm also paying for the drinks you gave out?

Me: *smiling* Yes, sir.

Him: Are you stupīd? Why did you give people drinks without collecting money from them?

Me: *heart starts pounding* But you asked me to give it to them, sir.

Him: Did I ever say I was going to pay for their drinks, eh? Moreover, must you do what I asked you to do? So, if I ask you to jump into fire now, you'll do it.

Me: But sir—

Him: Don't but sir me... *slams some notes on the table*... This is 5 thousand naira for the 8 bottles of beers I drank. You can collect the rest of the money from the people you gave out the drinks to.

Me:

"About Mohbad’s music royalties, ever since he passed on , I have never spent one pin from his money. All his money is still with me. I am waiting for the right person to come from his family so that I can give the money to the person. I will advise the court to arrest all the people that were with him 24 hours before he dǐed, the people who invited him to the show, and the people who were in the car with him," — Naira Marley

*So many women are unmarried, not because they can't find the right man, but because they can't find a man that is rich and at the same time stupid enough to pay for the wedding they and their family are too poor to afford, yet want to have. They want a grand traditional wedding, then a royal white wedding, a talk of the town reception and finally, a society court registry to finish it. Ask them their contribution, and they will say, 'Are you not the one that wants to marry me?'. How can you open your eyes and marry such a liability. Someone who is likely not even a virgin! It matters not to them that Mark Zuckerberg, that is wealthier than their entire generation, had a simple wedding. Marry that girl and prepare for premium billing from her and her entire family and hungry friends.*

Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations."

- Psalm 100 (ESV)

This psalm is a call to worship, encouraging believers to come before God with joy, thanksgiving, and praise. It celebrates God's goodness, love, and faithfulness, and acknowledges His sovereignty and care for His people.
