The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has dismissed nine officers and retired 25 others compulsorily for offences against standard practices.
The NCoS spokesman, Umar Abubakar, made this known via a statement issued on Sunday.
Abubakar stated that four others were issued letters of warning.
He quoted the NCoS Controller-General, Haliru Nababa, as announcing the decisions after approval by the Civil Defence, Corrections, Fire, and Immigration Board.

Nababa assured Nigerians that the Service would not relent in ridding its workforce of bad eggs just as he warned that there would be no room for indolence or indiscipline in the Service.
Nababa also assured of the readiness of the Service to reward officers and officers who were hardworking and committed to duty.
“The Reward Fund Unit is fully activated and very soon, staff with exceptional performance will be invited to Abuja.
“This will be for them to receive rewards for their show of gallantry and dedication to duty,” the NCoS boss said.
He, however, appreciated Nigerians for their cooperation and urged them to accept offenders that have served terms and showed enough penitence so as to break recalcitrance.
