NCoS foils attempt to smuggle drugs into Kuje Custodial Centre
The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) said it has foiled an attempt by a man to smuggle substances suspected to be psychoactive drugs into the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The Public Relations Officer (CPRO), of the FCT Command, Mr Samson Duza, disclosed this on Monday, September 22. Duza said a man identified as Njimogu Ikedi attempted to visit an inmate on Saturday, September 20, while concealing items suspected to be cannabis sativa and other psychoactive substances in his clothing. He said that the contraband was uncovered during a routine search by the NCoS personnel on duty. Duza said the Controller of Corrections in charge of the FCT Command, Mr Christopher Jen, immediately ordered the suspects apprehension. According to him, Controller Jen also directed immediate handover of the suspect to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for further investigation and prosecution. He, however, warned visitors with ulterior motives to desist from such acts, assuring that the Services vigilant personnel would continue to uncover their machinations. The controller also urged members of the public and well-meaning Nigerians to support the NCoS in its efforts towards reforming and rehabilitating offenders to foster public safety.The post NCoS foils attempt to smuggle drugs into Kuje Custodial Centre appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
