NCoS Public Relations Officer Abubakar Umar said the prohibited items were seized from inmates over a period of time through the proactive measures and routine search of the cells by officers and men of the service.
Umar listed the destroyed items as cell phones, SIM cards, laptops, hard drugs, power banks and other electronic devises considered as contraband for inmates in custody.
Umar said: “Nababa further stressed that searching of cells will be a continuous exercise to ensure that inmates in custody comply with standard operating procedures which give room for rehabilitation and reformatory programmes to thrive.
“According to him, returning the inmates back to the society as self-sustained persons and employers of labour is paramount in the agenda of the service at this time.”
