This was disclosed in a statement on Tuesday, by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Ministry of Interior, Mohammed Manga.
The custodial centres had come under attack from the suspected hoodlums who freed the inmates and also looted the armoury of a nearby police station, carting away five rifles. The statement read, “Two NCoS custodial centres in Benin City and Oko in Edo State were attacked yesterday by protesters purportedly under the #ENDSARS aegis, freeing 1,993 inmates in legal custody and looting the centres, including the weapons in their armoury.”
The FG said the situation has been brought under control while security around the custodial centres nationwide had been beefed up.The government said while peaceful protests were legitimate and guaranteed as a fundamental right of citizens, criminality should be condemned.
When will this APC government stop embarrassing themselves.
Liars.
Assisted by the government and their selfish associates

Hian! Where did they get all these numbers from?
Is this the dialogue our LEADERS want? No peace for the wicked, our LEADERS will mourn their own children, they will beg for TEARS and noth a single drop will fall from their eyes, they will beg for death but death will DISAPPOINT THEM. God's judgement will befall all of them.
Who breaks the jail
It shall not be well with you
It was politicians plan,how hoodlums enter prison without meet a single warden,and one escaped with headphone
It is obvious that the thugs they sent to create this scenario is doing their beading,

As u have lied now!! What's your gain? How many inmates were there in total? 1993 isn't a joke, it will take quality time for that number to escape except d doors n gates were opened.. Lastly, we will need you to publish the total names on national news paper.. EndSARS
Story Without uniform okwa ya
Terrible nation! 😭
FG should please stop embarrassing the nation with this tale. If our prisons can be so easily over run then we have yet another problem to add to the already extensive list of issues.
So many discrepancies in this report. Riffles carted away have been recovered. By who? Ask ur warders to explain better how these people got freed with the heavy security there no one was on sight.

Ah!!!! Fear God oooo
I thought inmates that are not awaiting trial were supposed to be on uniform. But they were virtually on mufti. Besides that prison seems to be too small to accommodate that number of inmates.
Sweet mouth, too much dodo.
1993 no add up, na 1960 good. Awon werey
yesterday the deputy gov. said it was about 1200 today fg said 1993 tomorrow ECOWAS will say 2201..abeg make una endsars

Use all the prison securities to replace them for their incompetency
To mobilize thugs! With presidential SUVs that was the reason for the release of inmates!
😂😂😂😂
Guess they were on uniform and prison break at the same time. God almighty with tears in my eyes kindly help send profound and long lasting suffering to this people. Let sickness and pains that no money can cure befall them all. Let all of their children partake in the curse
Jail breaks ko, prison break ni
lanre_ogunlana The year of true democracy

Mr Manga, what number of prisoners is that facility built to accommodate? Nigerians will surprised to find that this guy just lied. His story will change soon because human rights violation. It may be 3 times over capacity.
Kilode
Story for the gods. Why cant you and your office take precautionary measures?
K
Exactly how Nigeria escaped from British without finishing the service
But you said you spent ngn1400 everyday on each inmate your business don spoil tebliq thief
🤣🤣🤣
Lol, no be 5k 🤣🤣
Oga tho’, this huge number and no warder, police officer raise an alarm before they could all leave.. but a single citizen unarmed gets harassed/exploited at any given opportunity OnlyIn9ja
So it's now they can sit and count😪😪This is a huge disgrace to the Edo state government. If truly '1,993' prisoners were released, the whole of Edo state needs to be reformed. Cause clearly, the security system, structure and government is super poor.
Please assist to show clips of the cells in the prison yard.. help confirm this news with the current look of the prison cells. If you already have please share. Thank you EndPoliceBrutality EndSARS
