#Edoprisonbreak: Hoodlums Strike Another Prison In Edo State, Releases Inmates—-Twice in the same day, hoodlums have two prisons in Edo state. First it was the maximum correctional centre in Sapele, and now it is the1300 capacity Oko medium Security Centre .

The bandit overpowered five armed guards in the facility and had a free day looting shops along roadsides leading to the prison and from offices of prison officials.

According to reports, immediately after the attack in Benin Prison, security was alerted in Oko but calls to the Nigerian Army and the Police for reinforcement were not heeded hence the ease with which the hoodlums overpowered the prison guards.

Before the attack on Oko Correctional Centre, the suspected hoodlums had ransacked Oba Market police station, attacked its armoury and went away with their guns and some uniforms they found in the station.

As that was going on, suspected hoodlums attacked Igbekun police station and set it ablaze.
