Muslim
extremist Michael Adebolajo, 31, has been described by prison officer as
“violent, unpredictable and a major danger to other prisoners”
One of the
murderers of Fusilier Lee Rigby is now regarded as the most dangerous prisoner
in the British penal system.
Muslim extremist
Michael Adebolajo, 31, has been described by prison officer as “violent,
unpredictable and a major danger to other prisoners”.
But the real
threat he poses is his ability to radicalise other inmates, prison sources have
revealed.
Dozens of
prisoners have said to have fallen for Adebolajo’s twisted version of Islam and
have vowed to become Jihadis when they are eventually freed.
Even
non-Muslim prisoners are said to have converted to Islam and sworn an
allegiance to Islamic State after being radicalised by the killer.
One prison
official said: “Adebolajo spends most of his waking hours preaching his
distorted form of Islam to anyone who will listen. He sees every inmate as a
potential Islamic State soldier whether they are Muslims or not.
"He has
a big personality and is very charismatic and some of the more vulnerable
prisoners will fall under his spell. He is a very dangerous individual.”
The source
said that Adebolajo now sees his role in life to recruit as many Jihadis as possible
for the remainder of his life.
It is
understood that Adebolajo has been given “special category” status because of
the danger he represents.
Details of
the threat posed by one of the UK’s most notorious killers emerged just weeks
after 33 people were killed and more than 100 injured in terrorist attacks in
Manchester and London.
Murderer
Adebolajo was moved from top security Belmarsh Prison in South London to HMP
Frankland in County Durham, another Category A prison, in 2014.
Keeping the
terrorist killer confined in HMP Frankland - one of Britain’s most notorious
prisons - cost the tax payer an estimated £1500 a week or £78,000 a year.
The source
added: “If he is suspected of trying to radicalise other inmates we step in and
move him.
"But
even in prison Adebolajo cannot be watched all the time. We don’t have the
staff or the resources.”
Adebolajo
and accomplice Michael Adebowale murdered defenceless Fusilier Lee Rigby, 25,
near his barracks in Woolwich Barracks, South East London in 2013.
The two
terrorists mowed him down in a car before hacking him with knives and a
cleaver.
The men
dragged Rigby’s body into the road and remained at the scene until police
arrived.
They told
passers-by that they had killed a soldier to avenge the killing of Muslims by
the British armed forces
Both men
received life sentences. Adebolajo was given a whole life order excluding the
possibility of parole, and Adebowale, was given a minimum term of 45 years in
prison.
The killer
now walks along the same prison landings as Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe,
double child killer Ian Huntley, Rhys Jones murderer Sean Hughes, and Levi
Bellfield.
