However, angered by the seizure, the inmates who were to receive the items became restive, requesting that the impounded items be released to them immediately and the smugglers arrested to be freed.

The source noted that the leader of the inmates on the death roll, complaint to the custodial centre authority that without the release of their confiscated items, there will be no peace in the facility.

‘’You see the in-charge of the custodial centre was transferred here about three weeks ago from Wudil to serve to relieve duty since the officer in charge is attending a two-month course.’’

‘’On his assumption of duty, he realized that discipline has degenerated in the facility completely to the extent that some staff are conniving with inmate especially those in the condemned cells to smuggle in phones and prohibited items.’’

‘’With his knowledge of the facility since he had worked here himself for over 15 years was now able to create surveillance and monitoring activities which inmates on death roll detest. That was why they created pandemonium on Thursday evening .’’

With the experience of the in-charge now and most of the staff, they were able to control the pandemonium without recording any death from inmates or staff, neither was there destruction of government property.

‘’As I speak with you now, an investigation is ongoing to know and fish out those colluding with inmates and the prohibited items.

Spokesman of the Custodial centre Kano Command, DSC Musbahu Kofar-Nasarawa, confirmed the arrest of the drug dealer and the staff to Solacebase on Saturday.

He said they were handed over to NDLEA on Friday but did not give any other details.
