GoldenNewsNg reports that Reno Omokri has slammed the Nigerian Correctional Service for organizing a beauty pageant for inmates.

Chidinma Ojukwu, who went viral some months ago over the alleged killing of Super TV boss, Michael Ataga, has now been crowned Miss Cell 2022 in Kirikiri Correctional Centre.

Ojukwu participated in a beauty pageant alongside other ladies at the correctional facility and emerged the winner of the competition.

The National Spokesperson, Nigeria Correctional Service, Francis Enobore, confirmed the news explaining the reason behind the beauty pageant.

The spokesman noted that part of the services of the correctional facility is to ensure that inmates are in ‘sound and good spirit.’

Enobore further stated that to ensure that inmates are in a high spirit, the correctional centres engage them in exciting competitions likes; pageantry, cooking competitions among others.

Reacting to this in a lengthy Instagram post, former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, said that prison is a place of punishment and rehabilitation, but once it becomes a place of fun, then the whole purpose is defeated.

Reno, who opined that the act was insensitive, questioned how the families of the late Usifo Ataga would feel seeing his suspected killer prancing about as a beauty queen in prison.

In his words,

“Prison is a place of punishment and rehabilitation. Once it becomes a place of fun, then the whole purpose is defeated. How would the family of Usifo Ataga feel to see Chidinma prancing about as a beauty queen in prison? That is unacceptable. Heads should roll! And if heads don’t roll, the question we must ask is whether Chidinma has a prison official zaddy who she is making very happy. Because the state of her hair, skin, the clothes she wore and her shoes are better than 99% of females that are free in the world outside prison!

And the media should stop calling her an ‘alleged killer’. She admitted killing Usifo Ataga on camera. Once there is an admission, the charge is no longer alleged. It is proven. What is in doubt are the circumstances. Did she do it while under the influence of fear, or drugs, or something else which we do not as yet know? But that she did it is fact, not allegation.”
