In a video statement, he said the detention facility is equipped with air conditioners and television sets, allowing inmates to watch Premier League matches and news broadcasts.
“As you know, and you can have a view, our cell is a VIP one. We have air conditions, you can go and see that,” he said.
He added that the suspects have access to television and are able to follow entertainment and current affairs while in custody.
“In fact, we have television for Premier League and other things that they want to watch. All of our suspects watch news, they’ll even see this one if you air it. They are enjoying,” he said.
According to him, the suspects are “not kept in any harsh conditions” and are not being unlawfully detained.
The officer also restated the agency’s commitment to tracking and arresting individuals involved in criminal activities, especially those who allegedly use social media to create panic or showcase criminal operations.
“We will go after you, we will chase you in reverse order and arrest you,” he added.
