Nigerian mother of 2 hide phone in stew for her robber boyfriend in prison

 

    A mother of two children was caught while attempting to smuggle a phone to her boyfriend in prison custody.

   Officials of the Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) in Abeokuta, Ogun State arrested the 33-year-old woman, Fatima Balogun on Wednesday at the gate lodge of Abeokuta maximum Prisons in Ibara.

  The suspect confessed that she hid the phone which she bought for her boyfriend identified as Ganiyu Ajibode in the cooler of soup from the Prisons officials. Balogun said, she was a divorcee with two children before she met Ganiyu about two years back.

The suspect who said she lived in Fagba, Iju-Saga in Lagos, said she had never visited the Prison since her boyfriend was remanded for armed robbery six months ago. The Controller of Prisons, Ogun State command, CP Benson Abolade said the action was a threat to national security as the suspect was arrested for trafficking in Prison, which he said was against the Prison operation.

    Balogun upon interrogation  said; “I hid the phone inside the stew because I know they will not allow me to take it to him in the Prison. I did not know it is bad. I wrapped it in a cellophane bag. We have been together for two years. I live with my father having been abandoned by my husband who left me with two children. I regretted my action and I plead for forgiveness.”
