Michael Adebolajo 31, a Nigerian,
has been described by UK prison officials as the most dangerous prison inmate.
According to the officials,
Adebolajo is violent, unpredictable and a Muslim extremist. The inmate is said
to be keen on radicalizing other inmates into his twisted beliefs in Islam.
The inmate was said to be a major
danger to other prisoners due to his ability to radicalise other inmates.
Adebolajo was charged and sentenced
to life imprisonment for murder of a British soldier, Fusilier Rigby Lee, (25),
an act that was carried out alongside another Islamic extremist, Michael
Adebowale. The said Adebowale was sentenced to 45 years imprisonment. They
hacked to death a defenseless Rigby beside his barracks, dragged his body to
the middle of the road and waited for the police to arrive.
The attack on the soldier was a
revenge on the British military, for what they called inhumane killings of Muslims
by the British military, prison officials said.
According to another prison
official, Adebolajo spends most of his mornings teaching and preaching his
twisted belief of Islam to all, and anyone who cares to believe.
The official said that this has caused
other inmates who had accepted his ideology, including those who were never
Muslims, to pledge to become jihadists and extremists, once they are released
from prison.
The official further noted: "He
has a big personality and is very charismatic, and some of the more vulnerable
prisoners falls under his spell. He is a very dangerous individual. Adebolajo
now sees his role in life to recruit as many jihadists as possible for the
remainder of his life. He sees every inmate as a potential Islamic state
soldier whether they are Muslims or not."
As a result of his extremely
overwhelming effect on other inmates, Adebolajo was moved from Belmarsh Prison
in South London to HMP County Durham Prison, which is said to be Britain’s most
notorious prison facility.
