Prisoners on Monday set the Sapele Correctional Centre on fire, destroying properties belonging to government over non execution of Governor’s order.
Remember that few days ago, the Governor of Delta State Dr. Author Okowa had issued an order to The officer in charge of the correctional centres(prison) to release 25 inmates but unfortunately for the inmates, 3 of their fellows were released instead of the 25 as ordered by the state governor.
This sprang up the anger of the inmates resulting into agitation and setting ablaze some properties belonging to the government within the correctional centre. Speaking with an officer in the correctional centre who pleaded anonimity confirms the incident adding that none of the inmate escaped as “not one of them was found missing”.
