Just few hours after hoodlums hijacked the #EndSARS protest to attack Benin Correctional Centre and freeing inmates; the hoodlums have again attacked the Oko Medium Security Centre in Edo to free more inmates.
The hoodlums overpowered five armed guards in the facility; while looting shops along the roads leading to the prison.
It was gathered that immediately after the attack on Benin Prison, security was alerted in Oko but calls to the Nigerian Army and Police for reinforcement were not heeded on time as the hoodlums found it easy in overpowering the prison guards.
The facility according to findings, has a capacity to accommodate 1300 inmates.
Th hoodlums had before attacking the Oko Correctional Centre, ransacked the Oba Market Police Station, looted its armoury and made away with guns and some Uniforms they found in the station.
While that was going on, suspected hoodlums attacked Igbekun Police Station and set it ablaze.
