Woman caught with ‘wee’ in slippers at Ankaful prison

A 36-year-old Felicia Asamoah is to be arraigned before court after been caught by the prisons wardens at the Ankaful Maximum Security prison at Cape Coast for allegedly trying to smuggle a substance suspected to be Indian hemp to an inmate. Confirming the incident to Adom FM, the Central Regional Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Prison Service, ASP Daniel Machator said Felicia Asamoah was caught after being subjected to a thorough search.

 

According to him, the incident happened on Wednesday 29th March when the suspect came to visit Kwame Adu, an inmate serving 65 years with hard labour.

 

 

The suspect upon interrogation said she has no idea how the substance managed to find its place in the slippers because she was sent by her husband, George Kumah, to deliver the slippers to his brother who is an inmate at the prison.

 

 

“During the clearing stage, the officers realised there was something in the sole of the slippers.  It was split opened and the weed was found, they used super glue to keep the soles tighter. She said her husband gave it to her to deliver so she had no idea the marijuana was in it…” ASP Daniel Machator stated.

ASP Daniel Machator further noted that, investigations have begun to get to the bottom of the matter.

He said once the suspect’s act is against the law, she will be arraigned before court to be dealt with.

“Once it’s against the law, she has to be arraigned to the court. She’s with the police now till investigations will be carried fully. We have to know the source…” he indicated.
