The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has apprehended a lady, Precious Yusuf, for attempting to smuggle drugs into the Medium Security Custodial Centre in Kuje, Abuja. According to the Command Public Relations Officer, Mr. Samson Duza, the lady disguised herself as a visitor to an inmate on Tuesday, July 9, but was caught during a routine search by officers.

“The culprit confessed to having been sent to bring this to an inmate of the custodial centre,” Duza said. The items recovered included suspected Indian hemp and other dangerous drugs concealed in food packs in a carton.

The Controller, FCT Command, Ibrahim Usman, has ordered that the suspect be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for further investigation and prosecution. Usman warned drug peddlers to desist from trying to smuggle illicit substances into the custodial centres, stating that officers and men are on alert to deflate such plots.

“We call on the general public and well-meaning Nigerians to support the Service in its reformatory pursuit to keep society safe while assuring the public of safe custody of those legally interned,” Usman said.

 

The foiled attempt is a testament to the vigilance of the NCoS officers and their commitment to keeping custodial centres drug-free.
