OGUN WOMAN ARRESTED WITH ‘COLOS’ FOR DEATH-ROW SON

A woman in Ogun State has been arrested after allegedly attempting to take a prohibited substance known as “Colos” to her son, who is on death row.

The woman was reportedly intercepted by authorities during an attempt to deliver the substance to the inmate.

The incident has raised concerns about efforts to smuggle prohibited substances into correctional facilities, where strict measures are in place to prevent inmates from accessing them.

Authorities are expected to investigate how the substance was obtained and the circumstances surrounding the attempted delivery.

The woman is expected to face legal proceedings if investigations establish that she knowingly attempted to bring the prohibited substance into the facility.

Officials have continued to warn members of the public against assisting inmates in obtaining prohibited items.

Correctional authorities have also strengthened measures to prevent the smuggling of drugs and other restricted materials into custodial centres.

The development highlights the challenges faced by correctional facilities in preventing the movement of prohibited substances and other unauthorised items.

Authorities said individuals found attempting to compromise security within custodial facilities would be dealt with according to the law.

The investigation is expected to determine whether the woman acted alone or whether other individuals were involved in the alleged attempt.

Officials urged members of the public to comply with regulations governing visits to correctional facilities and avoid actions that could expose them to criminal prosecution.

The case is expected to proceed as authorities continue investigations into the alleged smuggling attempt.
