Early Friday, there was a riot and alleged jail break by prisoners at the famous Kirikiri Maximum Prison in Lagos. It was gathered that the inmates were fed up with what they described as highhandedness on the part of the new Deputy Controller at the Maximum Security Prison, DCP Kayode Odeyemi. They alleged that he stripped the inmates of all the privileges given to them by former controllers.

An inmate explained that "before Odeyemi’s arrival, inmates were allowed to use their own generator sets, cook their food , make use of mobile phones and other privileges to make their stay in the prison comfortable but all these were withdrawn when Odeyemi resumed.”

The riot was contained after a few hours. While prison authorities claim no prisoners escaped and no causalities were recorded, there are conflicting reports from eye witnesses who claim that prisoners escaped while authorities were attempting to diffuse the situation.

This is really Yankee prison in naija, they are allowed to cook, use phone and even use generator. There must certainly be TV and dstv, therefore Prison break must have really inspired them, lol. Goodluck guys.
