A former inmate of the Nsawam prison, Ramzy, has disclosed that the late Exopa CEO, Sima Ibrahim died out of negligence on the part of the prison officers.
In an interview with Hitz FM, he disclosed he was in the same block with the late mode,l and that he suffered a broken rib during a football match.
“We were in the same block. He was in Cell 3 and I was in Cell 5. We went to the pitch to play football and he wanted to score a goal. The [goal] keeper also wanted to hit the ball.
“Unfortunately, he hit his rib. He had one broken rib but did not know. Even though he felt the pain, he played the game till the end. In the evening when he was going to pray, blood oozed from his nose as he bowed down, and was rushed to the infirmary,” he recounted.
He said life in prison was hell and that any prisoner who falls sick in prison will die.
According to him, there was no doctor to see to the well being of Mr Ibrahim at that moment, which forced him to go to bed in pain.
“They said there was no car or ambulance to take him to the hospital, meanwhile there were officers in the prison yard who had private cars of their own,” he said.
Ibrahim Sima died on Thursday, December 4, 2014, while serving a 15-year jail term for dealing in narcotics.
