Some unidentified hoodlums have broken into Benin Correctional Centre popularly known as White House and succeeded in freeing numbers of inmates.
This development happened on Monday morning amidst ongoing EndSars protest in the state.
In reaction to the incident, the Edo State governor, Obaseki, has directed an immediate curfew across the state and mandated the security apparatus to swing into action and ensure all absconding prisoners are recaptured.
