Following the recent jail breaks in prisons across the country, the Federal Government has placed a ban the use of cell phones by both prison inmates and guards within all prisons premises.

The Minister of Interior Affairs Abba Moro made the announcement in Abuja while speaking to senior prison officials.

He mandated the officials to create a platform where all prison officials drop their phones before signing in and collect them at the close of the day. The minister also ordered that all cell phones of inmates be confiscated within 30days.

His words; “I have visited some prisons in other countries as the Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Nobody, no matter how highly placed you are, you don’t come to prison with your phones, not even the minister of Interior as the supervising minister over the prisons. So, why are you an exception? Henceforth, no matter who you are including myself, nobody goes into prison with telephones.”
