RIOT IN KIRIKIRI PRISON

There has been a riot in Medium Security prison, Kirikiri, Lagos. The riot stated at about 2:15, with the inmates making all sorts of noise. It later escalated into a full blown riot with the prisoners throwing all sorts of missiles towards the wardens forcing them out of the main yard. As the fracas continued, the wardens fired shots from outside the prison walls, trying to oontrol the non relenting rioters. Rumor have it that trouble started when the Officer-in-charge locked up the head of the prison inmates and as protests from his colleagues didn’t yield result, hence they resorted to violence. The riot as at time has died down as at time of posting, few shots are being heared unlike earlier on when sporadic shots were being fired to disperse the crowd.
