It was learnt that while his wife had been visiting him regularly, she was said to have recently complained to relatives that she could no longer bear the agony of having her husband behind bars indefinitely and that she would be willing to file for a divorce.

According to Vanguard, the troubled inmate had consequently approached the officer in charge, ACC Musa to help talk to the wife and make her see reason while she should keep faith with him, the husband.

It was reported that ACC Musa took advantage of the situation to lure the emotionally-deprived wife to his bed. “Having gotten her pregnant he then proceeded to tie the knots with her without even his own Personal Assistant knowing. He did everything in secret to the point that not a single personnel knew about it,” a source stated.

Consequently, ACC Musa on resumption from his wedding had approached the inmate and given him N10, 000 while advising him to forget his wife, saying “she is a useless woman.”

When the troubled husband returned to the yard, he was said to have narrated his plight to his fellow inmates who became infuriated and started singing protest songs.

While ACC Musa tried to calm the situation down, the angry inmates were reported to have bathed him with faeces and urine.

Meanwhile, the Federal Capital Territory FCT Command of the NC0S said it has begun an investigation into allegations of an intimate relationship between ACC Musa and the wife of an inmate under custody at Suleja Custodial Centre.

Command Controller of Corrections, Dr AbdulRahman Maiyaki, disclosed this in a statement signed by the Command’s spokesperson, Chukwuedo Humphrey. Part of the statement reads; tontroller Maiyaki upon getting the report has further informed the Controller General of Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa mni, and acting upon the directives of the Controller General, has instituted a full-blown investigation into the matter and also for unhindered access to investigation and justice, Mr Musa has been deployed out of Suleja Custodial center.

The Controller wishes to assure all parties involved that upon the report of the investigation, justice will be served as the service does not hide any staff who paints the behavior and good morals of the service in a bad light.
