Vigilant personnel of the Ilorin Custodial Centre, Kwara State capital, on Monday successfully intercepted a visitor attempting to smuggle substances suspected to be hard drugs into the facility.

Preliminary findings indicated that the suspect allegedly sought to bypass standard search procedures through unauthorized staff facilitation.

The individual, whose identity was not revealed, has been apprehended and handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for further investigation and prosecution.

Additionally, internal administrative actions and measures have also been reinforced to tighten security at all entry points of the facility.

The development, according to a source, underscores the importance of strict adherence to operational protocols and zero tolerance for compromise.

The management has also charged all staff members to remain vigilant and uphold the highest standards of professionalism at all times.
