This is the full story folks:

"They Keep 72 of us in a 4 x 4
Room" Ex student Kenneth tells
SECURITY WATCH NAIJA
about his 6 months stay at the
Kirikiri maximum prisons.
This is an interveiw of kenneth, an
Ex kiri kiri prison inmate who was
just released yesterday,after
6months of his stay at the
maximum prison.
*Security Watch* : Hi Kenneth,
Kennrth: Hello
*Security Watch* : How are you
today?
Kenneth : I'm Fine
*Security Watch* : We heared
that you were just released
yesterday from the Kirikiri
maximum prisons is that true?
Kenneth: Yes, it is true.
*Security Watch*: What was
your offence? why were you sent
to prison?
Kenneth: Destruction of
property.
*Security Watch* : How do you
feel?
Kenneth: I do not feel good. It
was not easy at all,
*kenneth weeps*
as i'm speaking to you now, i might
die any moment from now. I have
not had anything to eat or drink,
for weeks now, i do not have a
family i can call, and through out
my stay there i hardly had the
chance to eat. I am also in serious
pain and would need medical
attention
*Security Watch*: What was
each day like in prison?
Kenneth: We would wake up
everyday by 4:30 am, to wash the
latrine. I would then sleep by
6am, and wake up again by 8am. i
would then work and sleep late at
night. We also had duties given to
us by some of the generals (cell
mates) in the cell. I was always
given the job of Mopol, who is to
watch over some cell mates for
hours, or sometimes the cell
Generals. Some were given other
duties like feeding him, fanning
him and cleaning where he would
sleep. If any mistake was done
and any boss was angry, he would
beat us up seriously.
*Security Watch*: How do you
become a boss in prison?
Kenneth: I don't know. That is
how i met it, i only know of some
cell mates who gained their
respect due to the long period of
time they have been in prison.
Some have been there for 15-30
years and are very respected.
Also anyone who has a lot of
money, dance or perform was a
lucky man. I can rap very well, so i
would rap sometimes for hours in
the cell.
*Security Watch*: Were you
comfortable in the prison cell?
what was the size like?
Kenneth: I was not comfortable
at all, i had my own spot, were i
would sleep and it was very dirty.
I was also beaten and tortured
everyday. The cell was very small.
We were 72 in the 4x4 cell.
*Security Watch*: Were you
notice any form of homo-
sexuality amongst the other
inmates?
Kenneth: I did sometimes, but
those that were caught were
beaten seriously
*Security Watch*: Thank you
for your time and do have a lovely
day.
Kenneth: You too.
Residents at the area, in Ogba
Lagos state told
securitywatchnaija.com that
kenneth, who is being
interveiwed,
was an ex student, who dropped
out of unilag, from 200 level
years ago,
due to a sudden slight mental
illness.

never the same again.
