A 35 year old caterer,
Onyinyechi Ezirim, has been arrested by officials of the Kirikiri prison in Lagos
over an attempt to smuggle cannabis (igboo, skunk) hidden inside noodles to her
inmate boyfriend.
According to a statement
made to our correspondent by the spokesperson of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency, Mr. Mitchel Ofoyeju on Friday, the heroic prison official
discovered the drug
during a routine examination of food items brought for
inmates.
The Lagos state of the
NDLEA, Mr. Aliyu Sule, said that the suspect who had been handed over to the
agency by the prison authorities would soon be charged to court.
Sule said, “The suspect in
her statement said that her detained boyfriend directed her to a woman to
collect two cartons of noodles.”
“The compressed dried weeds
concealed inside noodles tested positive for cannabis and weighed 4.1 kg. She
will soon be charged to court.
Ezerim, a graduate of Imo
School of Catering said, “I used to buy noodles for my boyfriend who has been
in custody for one year. He promised to marry me last week; he told me that a
former inmate promised to send him two cartons of noodles.
“He asked me to contact the
man on phone. When I did, the man referred me to his wife who gave me the
noodles. Unfortunately, when I got to the prison, twenty packs of the noodles
were found to contain hemp (igboo). That was how I found myself here.
NDLEA chairman, Ahmadu Giade,
while commending the prison authorities said that the case would be thoroughly
investigated.
“I commend the prison authorities
for the arrest and prompt transfer of the suspect for prosecuting” Giade said
Our motto remains…
