Officers
of the Kuje Medium Security Prison in the Federal Capital Territory have
arrested two sisters for attempting to smuggle substances suspected to be
cannabis and Tramadol into the prison premises.
She
was arrested by vigilant officers at the prison’s gate before she could pass
the items to an inmate, John Ifeanyichukwu.
This
was contained in a statement by the FCT Prisons Service Command spokesman,
Humphrey Chukwuedo, on Tuesday.
According
to the statement, the prime suspect, who feigned ignorance of the contents of
her illegal cargo during interrogation, claimed that the consignment was given
to her by her younger sister, Victoria.
Victoria,
while corroborating her sibling’s claims, also said she was unaware of the
contents of the consignment, which she said she merely collected from a courier
service provider.
The
two suspects have been handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency
for further investigation and possible prosecution.
