Authorities in Ogun State arrest a female visitor, identified as Mrs Iyabo Sowunmi, for an alleged attempt to smuggle suspected illicit drugs into the Nigerian Correctional Service’s Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC) in Ibara, Abeokuta.
According to reports, Sowunmi is apprehended at about 1:33 p.m. on Friday during routine screening at the prison facility’s main entrance. The Daily Post Nigeria describes the target as a death row inmate, while Vanguard frames the act more generally as an alleged attempt to smuggle “Colos” into the prison. Both accounts say correctional service personnel detect the items during screening and detain the suspect.
The outlets do not provide further details on the substance’s testing results, the suspected quantity, or any subsequent charges. The reports focus on the arrest and the circumstances of the screening at the custodial centre, without describing the broader investigation or outcomes for the inmate involved.
