The hoodlums stormed Oko Maximum Security Prison along Sapele Road in Benin City, the Edo State capital, setting free all prisoners.
This was after exchange of gunfire with security operatives at the prison.

Osagie said: “The hoodlums are currently exchanging fire with the security personnel at the Maximum Security Prison in Oko, Benin City.”
