Cell Phones and indecent Dressing by Nigerian Prisoners Banned.

With regards to the recent attempted jail breaks in some Nigerian Prisons,the Federal government through the Minister of Interior have banned the use of cell phone and indecent dressing by prison inmates and officials of the prison service.
The Minister Abba Moro said,
 "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."
 And so, as you are going from here, create a meeting platform where all the officers that work in the prisons as they walk into prisons, they submit their phones and collect them when they close.”
 “Secondly, you have one month to recover all the phones in the custody of inmates across the prison formations. Within one month, all prison formations must recover all telephones from inmates. Don’t forget that I will know if you fail to do this because we have various agencies in Nigeria that are tracking telephone usages,”
“A situation whereby it is established that a prison officer connived with external forces to take a sizeable number of AK47 into the prison and the only sanctions you can give to such officer is to transfer him…, so Acting CG I want you to investigate that matter and report back to me within two weeks.”
