Officials of Afikpo Correctional Centre in Ebonyi State recently took an inmate out of the facility illegally to see his girlfriend for conjugal visit

The inmate is identified as Ibuchi Okoro Eze.

According to a source in the facility, Ibuchi, the inmate was sentenced to prison after he was convicted of rape.

The inmate was taken out of the facility on Saturday, September 14 to a bar managed by his girlfriend.

A picture of Ibuchi’s sitting at his lover’s bar where he was taken to was also obtained by SaharaReporters.

“A rapist inmate that still has more than a year in here was taken outside the prison to meet his girlfriend for conjugal visit,” the source told SaharaReporters.

“It happened on September 14 outside the yard. His name is Ibuchi and the bar is also here in Afikpo. This wasn’t the first time something like this would happen, that inmates would be allowed to go out of the facility illegally. Some even go to clubs and spend the night out of the facility.

“Only Afikpo people who were recruited and have stayed in this facility all their lives are allowed to do this dirty work with them, so that their secret will not be revealed.

“There are warders who collect money from these inmates to allow them to leave the facility anytime they want.

“For Ibuchi, after paying them that day, they forced some junior officers to take him outside the facility to meet his girlfriend. She has a bar she’s managing not too far from the prison.

“When they got there, he told them he wanted to have sex with the lady and that he should be allowed to see her privately in a room. One of the personnel kicked against it but Ibuchi called a superior officer who said he should be allowed but warned the officers to be at alert and ensure his return to prison.”

SaharaReporters’ attempts to Umar Abubakar, spokesman for the Nigerian Correctional Service, were met with silence. Calls, texts, and WhatsApp messages went unreturned at the time of reporting.

Allegations of corruption, extortion and cover-ups have continued to trail NCoS nationwide.

In a report by The ICIR in 2022, a suspended police chief, Abba Kyari, alleged he was forced to pay for cable TV for other inmates as a form of protection.

Kyari’s lawyer, Nureini Jimoh, who filed for a review of his bail application, said his client was being subjected to harsh conditions.

Also, the son of a former minister in the FCT was also alleged to have paid about N500,000 to officers of the NCoS to secure a suitable withholding cell.

Also, in 2017, an inmate serving a three-year jail term in Kuje Prison, Ifeanyi Ezenwa, was able to mastermind a multi-million fraud from incarceration.

The ICIR further reported that corrupt officials of the NCoS aid visitors by smuggling mobile phones and cannabis into the facility for a fee.

A report by Amnesty International also revealed that medical and welfare provisions were only available to those who could pay bribes to prison officials.

The Banana Republic never ceases to amaze me...

A country where the government underpays it's workers, what do you expect?

Werey lo dobo.

Many things that is happen in that part of world called prison, will amaze you.

Some yahoo boys like to stay incarcerated to avoid distractions and disturbance from our normal world.

Conji no be your mate, that inmate can release a sea of his seeds that can drown life.
I just pity the lady, the energy he will use to climb that mountain will be out of this Aphrodite world.

Nonsense and risky play

Why not bring the girlfriend to the prison facility to meet the guy in a secluded place

Mumu jailer risking his career for nothing

Looks like none of the junior officials reported this.

The image displayed above was obviously taken from a close range.

This is not new now. Some 10yrs ago someone told me that in Kirikiri prison Lagos state that there's an inmate who's allowed to go to the market and buys all types of foodstuffs, beverages and cigars that he resells inside the prison yard.
That they don't even escort the guy, but he will go and come back. He told me he makes a lot of money from the business. Though why he's been allowed to go and come anytime he likes is bcuz my friend told me he has served over 5yrs in the prison and as at that time he has only 6 months left to stay in the prison.
