Luxury Life Of Vips In Prison by Akbee(m): 1:24am On Oct 25, 2014 |
■ They pay N50,000 for special cells, own generators for power supply ■ Sleep with women for a fee, hire others as domestic servants ■ Our laws allow separate cells for the rich –Prison authority As Nigerians await the outcome of the investigation panel inaugurated to look into what led to the recent riot in Kirikiri Medium Security prison, more facts have continued to emerge on what really transpired in the incident which claimed at least three lives and more than 15 others injured. Coming to limelight are fresh claims by in mates and ex-inmates that there are privileged or super prisoners in Nigerian prisons, thus confirming the popular quote in George Orwell’s Animal Farm that all animals are equal but some are more equal than the others. The Prison authorities, however, deny this insisting that no such thing happens in their custody. Investigations revealed that the prison riot was caused by a move by the newly posted Deputy Comptroller of Immigration, Kayode Odeyemi to strip some privileged prisoners of their privileges. Some inmates also accused the prison warders of diverting gifts meant for them for their personal use, adding that most of the materials seized from them by the DCP were in turn sold to them secretly by the same officials. They insisted that preference was always given to some inmates who are referred to as super or privileged prisoners. In a bid to authenticate claims by the inmates, Saturday Sun spoke to some ex-inmates most of whom were re- arrested by the police while allegedly committing another crime. One of such is Obinna Enyinnaya who spent two years and eight months in Kirikiri Medium prison. Obinna was recently rearrested by operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, Lagos police command two months after he was released from prison. He was picked up alongside seven others after raiding a house in Lagos. He insists that there are cells known as privileged cells. In a chat with Saturday Sun, Obinna recalled that while in prison, those privileged cells were meant for those who could pay N50,000 and above to secure a space. “Those are meant for the big boys who can buy the space for N50,000. They are expected to be dropping money regu larly or lose the space. If I have money, I can also secure one. They are the ones who are allowed to use their private generators, cook their food and make use of table fans in their cells . Another ex-inmate, Kayode Dada, who spent 10 years in Abeokuta prison, claimed that he served Otunba Gani Adams, National Co-ordinator of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) while he was in prison in 2003. According to him, the OPC leader was one of those referred to as super prisoners. “These are big men in the society and due to one reason or the other found themselves behind the bar. When these people come to prison, they find it difficult to cope with the situation. They can’t fetch water to bathe. They also find it difficult to do other certain things. When they are confronted with such situations, they now give money to warders and prison officials to pick some of us to help them carry out these chores. During my time at Abeokuta prison, Otunba Gani Adams was brought to the prison. This was in 2003, I was among other inmates that were assigned to be assisting him. I was in the prison for 10 years, between 1995 and 2005 when Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the then Ogun State governor, granted me clemency”, he added. Culled from: www.sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=87768 |
