Sisters Arrested For Attempting To Smuggle Drugs Into Kuje Prison
Two sisters have been arrested by officers of the Kuje Medium
Security Prison in the Federal Capital Territory for attempting to
smuggle substances suspected to be cannabis and Tramadol into the prison
premises for an inmate identified as John Ifeanyichukwu.
A statement from the FCT prisons service command spokesperson,
Humphrey Chukwuedo, says the prime suspect identified as Blessing
Chinwuba, allegedly concealed the prohibited items in a carton of neatly
packed noodles, which she wanted to take into the prison.
Blessing reportedly feigned ignorance of the contents of her illegal
cargo after she was caught. During interrogation, she claimed that the
consignment was given to her by her younger sister, Victoria who denied
knowledge of the banned substance.
They have both been handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency, FCT command, for further investigation and possible prosecution.
