Prisoners with potbelly, necklace, fresh pink lips, no uniform – Nigerians react to Edo prison break

Davido and other Nigerians have raised important questions as they react to news about thugs who hijacked #EndSARS protests in Benin City, Edo State and freed inmates from prison.

Recall we earlier reported that thugs hijacked #EndSARS protest in Edo and freed inmates from the White House prison.

Nigerians have now taken to social media to raise important questions about the said jailbreak.

Many questioned the possibility of inmates who have been in prison for years to have jewelries, current Arsenal jersey, fresh pink lips among other evidences.

A Twitter user also observed that the said inmates freed from the prison were not wearing their prison uniforms.

Popular Nigerian singer, Davido particularly laid emphasis on the visible potbelly of some of the supposed e-comvicts.

See more reactions below;

No largescale jailbreak can succeed without: (i) the active connivance of prison insiders, (ii) the tacit support of prison security or (iii) the disguised involvement of prison authorities.

When you're ready to tell us the truth — or if you ever will — we'll be here, waiting.
