Tension In Yola As Incarcerated Soldiers Attempt Jail Break by eke419: 8:37pm On Nov 29, 2014

There was widespread tension on Friday in Yola, Adamawa state capital following an unsuccessful jail break initiated by some soldiers incarcerated at the Yola Prisons. The incident took place around 3pm shortly after Friday prayers were observed.

Sources from the prison yard told LEADERSHIP Weekend that trouble started when the soldiers who were court martialed by military authorities and brought to the prison yard tried to break the door of their cell.
However, prison warders used their numerical strength and overpowered the soldiers beating them mercilessly in order to deter them from further rebellion.

It was gathered that some of the inmates of the prison yard who frowned at the arrogant behaviour of the incarcerated soldiers joined in beating up the soldiers who were later chained and taken to the back cells.

As the commotion in the prison lasted, the armed squad of the Nigerian Prison started firing shots signalling that they were equal to the task of repelling any outside attack.

The shots further caused pandemonium at Yola’s Friday Market which is located a stone throw away from the prison as marketers and residents quickly closed shop for the fear of the unknown.

Some residents reportedly sustained injuries while fleeing from the scene of the incident as people scampered for safety.

When contacted, the public relations officer of the Adamawa State Police Command, DSP Othman Abubakar confirmed the development, saying that earlier in the day, a minor scuffle ensued at Yola Prisons which was brought under control.

In furtherance of a culture of impunity as enounced by Ogas at the Top.

These soldiers are as disenchanted about Nigeria and its leadership as you and I are
.
is there order in Nigeria?no.

Does the law exists? Yes. Exclusively for the strongest to punish the weakest.

Befuddling situation: soldiers controversially incarcerated and then beaten by other inmates under the watch of the prison authorities.
And really poor journalism: why did they have to add "beaten mercilessly" after reporting that they were overpowered? I see a really big storm brewing.
