FG Spends N34 Million To Feed Prisoners Daily - Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) by ikorodureporta: 6:48am On Apr 30, 2019
The Federal Government spends N33,878,700 daily to feed prisoners nationwide, the Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) has disclosed.

The Public Relations Officer of the Abia State Command of the service, Ikpe Linus Kalu, who made disclosure yesterday at a workshop in Umuahia, submitted that the prisoners were being fed thrice daily at N450.

At the event organised for journalists by the Dr. Uju Agomuo-led Prisoners’ Rehabilitation and Welfare Action (PRAWA), the spokesman refuted the claims that prison staff were feeding on the food meant for inmates, just as he put the number of prisoners nationwide at 73,786, comprising 72,286 males and 1,500 females.

I remember escaping from Kirikiri Maximum Prisons in 1984.

We were15 on the chain gang, the prison team sent to break down rocks on a quarry in Badagry.

I was down with hard labour...25 to life for yet another murder. FG thought it was the 15th, it was actually the 24th.

The jail warden, Sergeant Okoro, was a bald headed nasty m***fvcker straight from Hell...

3 guys that had planned this escape for weeks - Garba, Obinna and i

6 armed guards were on the 15 of us....we were at least 300 miles from civilization.


In blistering scorching sun, sweat was pouring from our bodies, the salt stinging our eyes as we brought down the sledgehammers again and again.



Garba started coughing violently, the signal for show-time. He was spitting out his lungs practically.

Prison or Tuberculosis, it was a toss up what would kill him first.

Just as the 2nd guard bent over Garba, Okoro with his beady eyes that missed nothing, KNEW something was amiss.

Obinna coming from behind, grabbed the bent over guard by the throat and squeezed ….. shocked

His handcuffs sank into the neck of the fat ass guard, there was a fine mist of blood that splashed everywhere.


ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! shocked

The prisoners descended on the guards like ants on sugar. 3 prisoners to each guard.

Okoro shouted "KILL THE RATS" and gunshots rang out, blood everywhere, skulls crushed with hammers.


I immediately took off and ran in the direction of the swamps.

I had packed alligator pepper, the extra-strong one Yorubas like into both pockets; stolen over 2 weeks from kitchen duties.

I quickly sprayed it behind, any dog that followed my scent would get a nasty noseful.


I kept hearing screams, wails, gunshots and dogs barking.


15 mins into my lung bursting run close to the river, all fell silent. It was the silence of a graveyard at midnight, eerie and tense.

Panting, i rested against the tree and listened carefully with every single cell of my body.


I heard them faintly doing a head count. The rebellion had been quashed !

I heard shouts and dogs barking ....coming closer and closer....


To be continued. ...

I suggest you question the corrupt men in uniform below, before you start blaming the Federal Government.

We love pointing fingers at the next person even though we are guilty of the offense, Corruption.
