According to the Nigerian Correctional Service, a woman named Shobowale Balikis has been arrested for attempting to smuggle alcohol into the Ibara Custodial Centre in Ogun State. The Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Command, Olayinka Odukoya, revealed the arrest on Sunday. Balikis was intercepted at approximately 3:50 pm on Saturday while allegedly attempting to bring the substance into the facility for an inmate.
The alcohol, identified as Ethano, was concealed inside a bottled water pack, disguised as drinking water. The correctional officials detected the substance before it could reach the inmates. Balikis has since been handed over to the Nigeria Police for further investigation and potential prosecution. The Command's Controller of Corrections, Abioye Adesina, emphasized the zero-tolerance policy on smuggling contraband into custodial centres, highlighting the service's commitment to maintaining safety, discipline, and integrity within the facilities.
