Sad

You would think after the prison break in Benin, security would be tight in prisons across the nation

As for some people who still believe govt are the ones orchestrating this, i laugh at your foolery.

We give it up for the govt. EndSars protesters at home, while govt is busy causing havoc. Very soon the president will address the nation. Hehehehe and it will be a point

It is becoming one too many.
