On the midnight of Sunday, April 4, 2021, gunmen besieged and attacked the Owerri Correctional Prison in the Imo State capital and released over 1800 prisoners.
On breaking into the prison facility with the aid of explosives and dynamite, the gunmen told the prisoners, “Go home, Jesus has risen. You have no reason to be here.”
The gunmen who operated from 1am till 3am, also targeted the Imo State Police Command headquarters situated in Owerri and set it on fire, razing down almost all the vehicles parked at the command headquarters.
The gunmen also freed the suspects in almost all the cells at the State Criminal Investigation Department of the command headquarters in the capital city of Owerri.
AJM NEWS gathered that on arrival, the gunmen sang solidarity songs at the Government House Roundabout for about 30 minutes before launching their attacks.
When contacted, the police spokesperson in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, confirmed the attacks.
He, however, assured the people of the state that the security agencies were on top of the matter.
