Premium time una don dey mad...

This is serious...all prisoners are taking advantage of security situation in town to attempt jailbreak while being helped by hoodlums

Wow, the name of the movie is called, 'Prisoners on Guide'. Thank me later.😂😂😂

9ja my country, anything can happen

I think this was recorded by the prison Warders and not the prisoners

Wow who directed this movie?

its not fake o, is it not Naija that prisoner is duping people outsiide? They use the latest iPhones and everything inside the prison.

I wonder who had a phone in prison 😂😂😂 EndSars

This sound fake,who was recording them and how did they know places that have been attack

Where is the MBuhari bring out MBuhari EndSARS

This is all part of the 'peaceful' protests. (Prison breaks, burning down Police stations, looting shops and businesses of innocent people, etc.)

And some will say it's a peaceful protest. No government will tolerate this type of anarchy. We better think deeply

If so called officers keep killing unarmed Nigerians their barracks will be next target. That will be the begining of the end of Nigeria. EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeraNOW endSARS BuhariResignNow

buhari and his people want to declare a state of emergency in Lagos so that they can send a military administrator to take over.

Why do they allow that to happens in Benin city?

The protestors now Criminals

SanniOzil But in Benin, gun no dey the arsenal of the correctional centres... hence, no shooting by the officers there. Gentleman jailbreak!!! 🤝 🇳🇬

Kill at sight any criminal attempting to break jails.

Are these are the peaceful protesters as you claimed ? UN HillaryClinton amnestyusa AmnestyNigeria latimes FinancialTimes TheEconomist AJENews BBCBreaking CNNAfrica Reuters

Good.

An inmate inside the prison? Journalism gone to the dogs

Good!

While the attempted jailbreak is no more news, I still couldn't resist asking how Inmate got internet smart phone + premium times contact or how he sent the video to you? Bluetooth or Xender? Is this report fair and in good conscience?

I believe by now Mr NGRPresident MBuhari should give that order 👉ANYONE FOUND IN VISINITY OF GOVERNMENT OR PRIVATE PROPERTY TRYING TO BURN IT DOWN SHOULD BE SHOOT 👉ANY PERSON TRYING TO KILLED ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OR ANY PERSON SHOULD ALSO BE SHOOT ASIDE GOD BLESS 🇳🇬

Is it also done by protesters

Shoot on site and kill all of them. Hoodlums should not hold everyone to ransome

An inmate using phone?

This wasn't the plan, I fear for the level of criminality the country will face soon. God help us. Is buhari alive.

The people trying to release criminals into the society to continue to torment innocent citizens are brazen criminals who are not part of the EndSARS movement. They ought, therefore, to be rightly dealt with as criminals cum criminals.

These hoodlums need to start getting shot.

So u got video and messages from an inmate? Them dey carry phone enter prison ni?

Killed those mad people, they are animals. They wanted to brake the jail. Kill them!

Please all the protesters are at home ohh. Thugs and Hoodlums they bought arm for are the once constituting this nuisance

Wonderful

Y attack on prison dis is getting beyond EndSARS

Ikoyi Jail Break Is the Next. If criminals in Ikoyi comes out. The real revolution will then start
