This is an interveiw of kenneth, an Ex kiri kiri prison inmate who was just released yesterday,after 
6months of his stay at the maximum prison.





  

*Security Watch* : Hi Kenneth,
Kennrth: Hello

*Security Watch* : How are you today?
Kenneth :  I'm Fine

*Security Watch* : We heared that you were just released yesterday from the Kirikiri maximum prisons is that true?
Kenneth: Yes, it is true.

*Security Watch*: What  was your offence? why were you sent to prison?

Kenneth: Destruction of property.

*Security Watch* : How do you feel?
Kenneth: I do not feel good. It was not easy at all,

*kenneth weeps*

as i'm speaking to you now, i might die any moment from now. I have not had anything to eat or drink, for  weeks now, i do not have a family i can call, and through out my stay there i hardly had the chance to eat. I am also in serious pain and would need medical attention

*Security Watch*: What was each day like in prison?

Kenneth: We would wake up everyday by 4:30 am, to wash the latrine. I would then sleep by 6am, and wake up again by 8am. i would then work and sleep late at night. We also had duties given to us by some of the generals (cell mates) in the cell. I was always given the job of Mopol, who is to watch over some cell mates for hours, or sometimes the cell Generals. Some were given other duties like feeding him, fanning him and cleaning where he would sleep. If any mistake was done and any boss was angry, he would beat us up seriously.

*Security Watch*: How do you become a boss in prison?

Kenneth: I don't know. That is how i met it, i only know of some cell mates who gained their respect due to the long period of time they have been in prison. Some have been there for 15-30 years and are very respected. Also anyone who has a lot of money, dance or perform was a lucky man. I can rap very well, so i would rap sometimes for hours in the cell.

*Security Watch*: Were you comfortable in the prison cell? what was the size like?

Kenneth: I was not comfortable at all, i had my own spot, were i would sleep and it was very dirty. I was also beaten and tortured everyday. The cell was very small. We were 72 in the 4x4 cell.

*Security Watch*: Were you notice any form of homo-sexuality amongst the other inmates?

Kenneth: I did sometimes, but those that were caught were beaten seriously

*Security Watch*: Thank you for your time and do have a lovely day.

Kenneth: You too.

Residents at the area, in Ogba Lagos state told securitywatchnaija.com that kenneth, who is being interveiwed,

was an ex student, who dropped out of unilag, from 200 level years ago,

due to a sudden slight mental illness.

I quote in their own words.

" the guy na brilliant guy, in dey 200 level before for unilag, until something happen,

the guy just wake up, and he was never the same again. 

in sabi rap well, 2pac, biggie, 50 cent, name am,

Clothes and other releif materials, have been sent to Kenneth,

from Security Watch Naija.
