Edo boils, as hoodlums set Police station ablaze

Barely forty-five minutes, some group of unidentified men stormed White House prison along Sapele Road in Benin and released prisoners, hoodlums have reportedly burnt down Ugbekun police station in Benin.

Currently they are trying to gain entrance at Oko Prison, to release prisoners.

Recall that the Edo state government had imposed 24-hour curfew across the state, following incidents of vandalism and attacks on private individuals and institutions by hoodlums in the guise of #ENDSARS protesters.

Meanwhile, Security operatives, on Monday, took over some venues of mass action planned by youths in Abuja who are protesting against police brutality and extra-judicial killings.

This is in spite of the several warnings and advice from civil society groups and well meaning Nigerians that the military high command should not deploy soldiers to streets until the #EndSARS protests abated nationwide.
