BREAKING: Gunmen attack Imo prison, free over 1500 inmates

Gunmen on Monday morning attacked the Owerri Correctional Prison in the Imo State capital and freed over 1500 inmates, The PUNCH has learnt.

The attackers also razed the Imo State Police Command headquarters situated in Owerri and burnt almost all the vehicles parked at the command headquarters.

The hoodlums further freed the suspects in almost all the cells at the State Criminal Investigation Department of the command.

The PUNCH gathered that the gunmen operated from 1am till 3am on Monday.

They sang solidarity songs at the Government House Roundabout for about 30 minutes before attacking the facilities, a security source confided in our correspondent.

On breaking into the prison facility with the aid of explosives and dynamite, the attackers told the inmates to go home.

When contacted, the police spokesperson in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, confirmed the attacks.

He, however, assured the people of the state that the security agencies were on top of the matter.

Most people in that prison were imprisoned illegally by the useless fulani commisioner

Buhari government is inhumane and nepotist,go to the north and see no fulani in prison,rather they are forming groups and preparing for the war ahead

When we said IPOB/ESN are terrorist groups like Bokoharam, their sympathizers called pigs denied these facts & shouted for evidence.

Today what we are witnessing is not only evidence but history in the making of an evil ideology that will be worse than Bokoharam.
1500 harden criminals will rape, kill, steal, loot within the region of 7%, Bokoharam will be a child's play.

A quick survival tips in the 7% region, once you can recognise 15 similarities between the two images below, then shall you escape them.

We dey laugh ooooo.

We know the gun men are those in power.

Whenever they want to cash out big time for their selfish interest in an unlawful way, they create a chaos here and there without minding the side effect it has a people, thus, playing games with human life's..

Government is a beast in sheep clothing.
