The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the
sisters, Mrs Atinuke Adebayo, 32, and Miss Shade
Oyetobi, 24, were apprehended by officers of the
Nigerian Prison Services.
NAN reports that their brother, Babatunde, is facing
charges of assault and armed robbery before Justice
Sedoten Ogunsanya.
Speaking with newsmen, the prison official who foiled
the plan, Mr A.R. Muhammad, said the two sisters had
approached him that they wanted to see their brother.
Muhammad said Shade was holding a cellophane bag
and when he queried her about its content, they told
him it contained leather slippers.
He said upon his insistence that the bag should be
searched, 11 wraps of marijuana and a jar of Vaseline
were found inside the bag.
According to him, inmates usually insert wraps of
marijuana in their anus with the aid of the Vaseline and
excrete them inside the prison yard.
In tears, Shade told newsmen that one of her brother's
friends, Jamiu, called her and gave her the hard drugs
to deliver to him.
The suspect, who claimed to be a hair dresser, said she
knew her brother would be in court and that was why
she brought the marijuana to him.
On her part, Adebayo, said she had three children and
was the elder sister to Shade and Babatunde.
Adebayo said that she used to come to court to meet
her brother whenever his matter was on trial.
She, however, denied knowledge of her younger sister's
ulterior motive to smuggle the drugs to Babatunde
inside the cell.
