In a recent statement, the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) shed light on a rather unusual and untrue claim that had been circulating in the media. The story alleged that cats were being served as part of meals to inmates in custodial centers across the country. However, the truth behind this claim is far from what was reported.
The Controller General, Mr. Ja’afaru Ahmed, expressed his dismay over the report and emphasized that it was not only malicious but completely false. He went on to explain the intricate process involved in providing meals to inmates, dispelling any doubts about the authenticity and quality of the food.

A Closer Look at Inmate Welfare and Nutrition
First and foremost, Mr. Ahmed clarified that the NCoS procures raw food supplies from certified vendors who are responsible for delivering them to designated custodial centers. To ensure the safety and wholesomeness of the food, a ration committee, consisting of various professionals and officers, rigorously inspects the supplies before recommending payment.
The cooking process itself is carried out by the inmates under the careful supervision of professional caterers. Moreover, designated officers are required to taste the food before it is served to the inmates, ensuring that it meets quality standards. All these meticulous steps are well-documented for official records.
Mr. Ahmed went on to stress that the well-being of the inmates is of utmost importance to the Nigerian Correctional Service. The ultimate goal is the reformation of inmates to prepare them for safe reintegration into society. Serving pet cats as food would not only be highly immoral but also insensitive to the inmates’ needs and welfare.

A Matter of Morality and Sensitivity
Addressing the cat meat allegations, Mr. Ahmed pointed out the moral and ethical implications of such claims. Cats are pets, and the idea of serving them as food is not only improbable but also insensitive to societal values. He emphasized the Nigerian Correctional Service’s unwavering commitment to inmate welfare and their reformation process, aimed at successfully reintegrating individuals into society.
In conclusion, the Controller General firmly dismissed the baseless claims as pure fiction, emphasizing that the NCoS remains committed to its mission of rehabilitation and reformation. The welfare and dignity of inmates are non-negotiable, and such unfounded rumors should be disregarded.
