A female official of the Kirikiri Prisons in Lagos state has been arrested for smuggling alcohol into the prison for inmates.
She was also dismissed according to a statement by a spokesperson for the prisons, F. Enobore.
According to him, the dismissal letter was signed on behalf of the Controller-General of Prisons by the officer incharge of discipline, Agun Olatunji.
It said that the staff was found guilty of negative activities which borders on trafficking, an act that contravenes the enabling provisions of Sections 14 (i) (a) and Section 82 (n) of Prisons Act Cap P.29 LFN 2004 and punishable under Sections 14 (i) (g) and Section 83 of same Act.
“The arrest of the wardress is certainly an indication of the dawn of a new era in prison management in Nigeria and a justification of the recent mass re-deployment of officers and men nationwide to strengthen security,” he said.
