disobeyed prison rules
UK prisons are known to have a ban on wearing blings as a prisoner,
and according to reports, 29-year-old Nigerian prisoner Babs
Arogundade aka BP, disobeyed prison rules by wearing blings in prison.
Arogundade took pictures of himself wearing a £3,000 Datejust Rolex, a
golden medallion and a Versace silk shirt, using a contraband phone
and got his friend to share the pictures on Instagram using the
caption "free BP".
According to Sunday People, a source said 'The pictures show how much
respect he has for the prison system – none. He's laughing at the
authorities.'
The source said Arogundade practically runs the prison, stating that
he lives like a king behind bars.
Arogundade who owned a Bentley before he was convicted of conspiracy
to supply drugs and possession of firearms, flaunted his lavish
lifestyle every chance he got. He was said to regularly spend
thousands of pounds on champagne and expensive jewellery which
included diamond-studded Rolex wristwatches.
He was arrested after the police had spent some time monitoring his
lifestyle and trying to determine his source of income. He was
allegedly caught with four shotguns, a loaded Smith and Wesson
handgun, a Winchester rifle, a kilo of 74% pure cocaine worth around
£200,000, all stashed in a woman's car.
Weighing scales, plastic bags containing 1.22kg of crack cocaine and a
cutting agent were also found when the police raided one of his
associates' Wembley address.
Arogundade is currently serving a 27-years jail term in a UK prison.
