Established in 1861, the Nigeria Prisons Service was created to take into lawful custody all those certified by courts of competent jurisdiction, to be kept, produce in courts as and when due as well as reform inmates who for one reason or the other find themselves in custody.

Unfortunately, the rot and corrupt practices in the Nigeria Prison Service are gradually defeating the purpose of its establishment. Over the years, cases of alleged extortion of inmates by warders, sale of food items, rental of VIP cells to well-to-do inmates, conversion of gift items donated by NGOs and religious bodies, are some of the rot in the system.

Crime Guard spoke to a 32-year-old Liberian simply called Andre (surname withheld), who was released from Medium Prison, Kirikiri, on Monday, June 27, 2016 after spending four months in prison custody for car theft. Excerpts: “My trouble started immediately I was handed over to the warder after being taken to the court in Ikeja.

The warder asked me to pay N1000. I gave him the N500 I had with me and my Investigation Police Officer (IPO) gave him additional N500 as transportation to the prison. As soon as I got to the prison, I was taken to a cell called the

Welcome cell.”
Welcome cell It was a new experience for him, he said, and added: “Inside the Welcome cell, I was beaten by fellow inmates that night because I had no money to pay for the cell fee, before I was taken to the general cells.”

[size=15pt]Inside the cells [/size]
Narrating his ordeal, Andre who studied computer science and mathematics at the University of Calabar, Cross River State, said that inside the prison, they have special section for VIPs, where inmates who have the resources pay between N30,000 to N100,000 depending on how well furnished the rooms are. Some of the VIP rooms, according to findings, have fans and radio. Such inmates, Crime Guard gathered, are allowed to use mosquito nets, iPhones and iPads. Further findings revealed that they also watch movies while the general cells are for inmates who can’t afford the VIP cells. Cell

“In the general cells, we have about 65 to 75 inmates. The cells include H1, H2, H3 and H4, while the VIP cells are C2, K4, New Building, Abia House, built by a former governor of Abia State. “Some of the inmates who are currently residing in the VIP cells are Philip Osas who is facing charges on armed robbery. He occupies K4 cell. Also, there are one Kola and Ifeanyi who have been facing robbery charges for six years. Ifeanyi was released two weeks ago by a Lagos State High Court. One Mr Akpan from Akwa Ibom State lives in C2 cell; he has been there for the past two years.”

[size=15pt]Extortion of inmates[/size]
According to him, “Each cell has a marshal who is like the president in charge of the cell. Each marshal buys the position from the warders and generates revenue for the warders. “Warders usually collect money from inmates to install them as marshal. Marshals pay the warders money to enable inmates cook in the cell. They pay money to warders and also buy new inmates who are kept in their cells like slaves.

‘Inmates are bought for between N500 to N1000’ “
These inmates are extorted by the marshals. During the four months I spent, I paid twice to repair federal vehicles that took us to court. I had to pay for vehicle tyres to be bought. “If inmates don’t contribute money for the repair of the vehicle or for buying of tyres, they won’t be taken to court especially for those whose cases are still awaiting trial. “The last time, we were made to contribute N350,000 from the 52 cells in the prison. The headache before I left was that every week, cells were made to contribute N1,300 which they use to purchase diesel for generator. The generator was bought by an ex-inmate who was released two months ago. “He gave them money to buy diesel for a year but unknown to the donor, we were being extorted.

The chief warder informed us that the prison spends about N750 to feed each inmate daily, but the quality of food we are given cannot be served to a village dog because it is poisonous. “For instance, the soup for garri is made from grounded beans, no salt, no pepper, and no oil. In prison language it is called shapa. “The warders sell 75 per cent of the food items to inmates who have money. These inmates in turn resell the food stuff in retail qualities to other inmates who don’t eat from the daily food rations served in the prison.

[size=15pt]Extortion at the clinic “[/size]
Another avenue where the warders extort inmates is via the prison clinic. The doctors and nurses sell to them, free drugs meant for sick inmates. There was a time I wasn’t feeling too well, and I was forced to purchase two sachets of Ampiclox from the clinic for N500. Several inmates have died as a result of improper medical care.
[size=15pt]
Improper medical care “[/size]
Each time our family members, friends or relatives send recharge cards to us, the warders make money. For instance, they give us N1000 for N1,500 airtime and N600 for N1000 airtime. Some of them even claim that the pin has been used after they have recharged it. “Any attempt to ask about the card will result in the inmate being taken to the punishment cell called Angola and before release; he would pay N5000 to the chief warder in charge of the yard. Every money collected from the inmates passes through this department. “Whenever non-governmental organizations, NGOs, religious groups or philanthropists bring gifts to the prison for inmates’ upkeep, the gifts are seized by the warders at the gate and thereafter, used by the warders for personal use. They claim that visiting is free but at the end of the day, they would collect money from relatives to allow them have access to us. Our relatives are forced to pay N1000 to be allowed to see us. If a visiting relative gives an inmate N1000, the warders will take N500 and give the inmate N500.

[size=15pt]Case of sodomy[/size]
“There was a case of a marshal in 03 cell who was awaiting trial for rape and murder. He bought two young men who had no prison experience. Every night, he took turns to rape these inmates. The rape continued until the young inmates felt they had had enough and so reported to the chief warder. Surprisingly, no punishment was meted out to the marshal. Neither was the young men taken out of the cell. Luckily, he was released a few weeks later.

[size=15pt]Denial[/size]
Reacting to the allegations, the Public Relation Officer of Nigeria Prisons, Lagos State, Deputy Superintendent of Prison, O.O Oladokun said, “I appreciate the fact that you have made effort to verify. Those claims are far from the truth. There is no atom of truth in these allegations. No such thing exists that is happening in the Kirikiri Medium Prison.”

You are a big liar, stop saying what you dont know. PEACE Mass transit has the lowest accident rate in any coy in Nigeria and i dont think there is any mass transit bigger than them in Nigeria. They have more than a thousan buses of different shapes and sizes. I started entering it 21 yrs ago. In our school days in UNN until now, students still prefer as a result of low accident rate and cheap fares. If a mass transit owners of 10-50 buses records 5 accidents in a year and peace with hundreds of buses records 10 in a yr, which one is more fatal. If America has an average of 5 plane crashes in a year with thousands of air travelling, and hundreds of airport is still far better than Nigeria with a record of 5 crashes in the past twelve yrs. America may be 10 in 100 thousand air travels while Naija 5 in just 20 thousand airtravels. PEACE still have the lowest accident rate of any masstransit in Naija.

A senior reporter at Tide Newspaper, Kevin Nengia is filled with thanks to God and the governor of Rivers state -Nyesom Wike who reportedly came to his aid during hard times. And in appreciation for that, he has named his daughter after the governor's wife Eberechi Suzzette Wike.

Below is what he shared on his Facebook page;

There is no birthday gift greater than this. She came last weekend. It has been a torturous journey from cancer to pregnancy to safe delivery. Please join me to thank God and Governor Nyesom Wike who came to my rescue. Without our kind and amiable goveror I would have lost both mother and child. Welcome baby Suzette!!!

Cutehector:
Ha, some people are funny sha. I am guilty of some, you are guilty of some, they are quilty of it too .

Nw let's look at them


1. The I just wanted to say Hi syndrome


hello baybee hw far now? I am fine ooo, how are you? Hope all is well. Phone conversation continues... well I just wanted to say hi


Like seriously? WTF!!! Why should u "wanted to say hi?" Hi for what? Your calling the person is enough reason to let him or her know u wish to talk to them.. u don't have to repeat it.
Don't u have anything important to say? Calling someone just because you wanted to say hi is just dumb. Seems u don't have anything doing with your airtime. Please avoid dat sentence..


2: Calling a lot of times when the recipient doesn't pick


Mehn if you are calling someone one, two, three times and they don't pick please respect yourself and call back later. It's dumb and stvpid to ring someone 15missed calls. It makes the recipient to think there is really an emergency if he/she comes to pick, thereby giving him/her some sense of worry, only for him/her to call you bak and u tell the person you just wanted to say hi. Now tell me how stvpid that can be.



3: Picking or making a Phone call in a busy environment


Please don't do that! It's really annoying. People hate it when you call or pick a call in a busy environment. I don't want to hear the loud music over the background or the traffic noise or the general noise emanating from the background. Please For Christ sake, go somewhere quiet and make or pick the call.



4: Repeating words you just said over the phone


Guy: Freda watsup na, hw u dey?


Freda: I jus dey guy, watsup..


Guy, mehn I just dey ooo.. hw every every..



Freda: mehn ur babe just dey



WTF!! Two of you just spent one minute and be asking how far.. like seriously? If u duno what to tell someone when u want to call them please don't even bother calling. You are only enriching the network provider. So save your airtime until u have smth important to say.



5: Promising someone u will call dem back later when u know u will not


People are just fond of doing this. Especially towards the end of the phone call, and the guy happens to tell the babe he will call her later in the day, and she expects his call. Den later in the day he doesn't call.. the next time they happen to have a phone call conversation again, he still repeats he will call her so so and so Time again.

Really?




6: Making a Phone call in a public vehicle and shouting


Hellooo, helloooooo.. hellloooo.. I can't hear you ooo. Helllooooo. Helloooo.




Now tell me why will both of you hear yourselves when the car glasses are down and the vehicle is in motion? You are now disturbing people shouting at the top of your voice.

Please stop that. If u wish to make or receive a call in a public vehicle, pls reduce your tone or you send your info thru text.




Please add yours abeg

GurlFriend:
This is Nollywood actress Chika Ike back in 2002, in her secondary school's (Saint Francis Catholic Secondary School) Annual Inter house Sports. She is surrounded by her classmates and beauty queens in Olorunfunmi House (Blue House).

For those who have always doubted her age, Chika is really 31. She was born August, 1985. In the above photo, she was in SS3 and getting ready for her SSCE exams.

She was also the Female Head Prefect for set of 2001/2002 and her immediate predecessor was Christiana Egbo, better known these days as Tana Adelana; actress, TV host and media personality. Christiana was the Female Head Prefect for set of 2000/2001.

The guy in the middle, beside Chika, named Seun was Christiana's counterpart (Male Head Prefect, 2000/2001).

I wonder where Chika's sexy curves suddenly popped out from.
