Chidinma Ojukwu, the prime suspect in the murder case of late businessman and Super TV boss, Usifo Ataga, has been crowned Miss Cell 2022 in Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
The emergence of Chidinma Ojukwu as ‘Miss Cell’ 2022 was made known in a statement by the National Spokesperson, Nigeria Correctional Service, Francis Enobore.
According to Enebore, the organisation of the beauty pageant is part of the services of the correctional facility to ensure that inmates are in ‘sound and good spirit.’
He said; “What happened is that as part of our reformation and rehabilitation programme and to also keep the inmates in a sound and good spirit, we organise a number of social engagements amongst them. Some could be recreational activities, some could be theatre work like entertainment.

“There are a number of programs that we introduced to get the inmates happy and put them in a good frame of mind. First, we ensure that while they are there, they are open to correction, second, we ensure that they are there in good spirits in order to help them kill boredom. There are so many things we do. In line with this, the officer in charge of the Kirikiri correctional facility organised some competitions among the inmates like cooking, tailoring, make-up, among others.
“These are things that will make them happy because our primary responsibility is to keep them safe and sound. That was what happened and she emerged the best in the competition. It is part of what we do. In fact, the person in charge of the Kirikiri female prison has been doing marvelously well.”
