Nigerian Prisons Services (NPS) officials have foiled an attempt by a woman to smuggle cannabis sativa, popularly called Indian hemp into Ikoyi Prisons.

The woman whose husband is detained at the facility, was said to have attempted to capitalise on humanitarian service providers and inmates’ relations’ visit to bring in the illicit drug.


It was learnt that during such visits, people are allowed to bring in things for the inmates.
The incident occurred barely two months after the prison foiled a three-man gang’s attempt to peddle Indian hemp within the facility, with the aid of its Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV).


The woman allegedly concealed the substance, which weighed about 930 grammes, in four big tomato tins.

The woman was shocked when officials at the gate insisted on a thorough check of every item brought into the prison.
“When the tomato tins inside her package were opened, we found Indian hemp, a phone and a sim card,” a source said.

The Deputy Controller of Prisons (DCP), Ikoyi Prisons, Tolu Ogunsakin, said investigation has begun to determine the culpability of her husband in the matter.
The woman, he said, had been handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
