Kirikiri female prison comptroller removed after crowning Chidinma Miss Cell 2022

There are reports that the Nigerian Correctional Service has redeployed the Comptroller of the Kirikiri female prison in Lagos State, Lizzie Ekpendu.

Hee removal, source said, might not be unconnected to the recent beauty pageant held in the facility to mark this year’s international women’s day, which produced 21-year-old Chidinma Ojukwu, who’s the alleged killer of Super TV CEO, Micheal Ataga as winner.

Vanguard is not reporting that, although the prison authorities defended the action, the comptroller of the female prisons, Mrs Ekpendu, was redeployed last week as a result of the matter. She was redeployed to the Lagos Command Headquarters, Alagbon, Ikoyi.
“I can confirm to you that Mrs Ekpendu, the Comptroller of Kirikiri Female Prison has been redeployed to the Lagos Command Headquarters, Ikoyi. She has been replaced by another senior female officer,” the source said.
