According to the Minister, there have been recent attempts but many of them were repelled and such individuals killed.
He further underlined that with their captured biometrics as well as the state of the art recreational facilities erected in the six geopolitical zones across the country, the chances of criminals successfully breaking into any facility have been significantly minimized.
