Gunmen on Monday attacked the Nigerian Correctional Services in Imo State and freed an unspecified number of prison inmates.

It was gathered that the attack occurred in the early hours of today, after which the hoodlums set the facility ablaze.

The gunmen also razed the Imo State Police Command headquarters situated in Owerri and burnt almost all the vehicles parked at the command headquarters.

They were said to have operated from 1 am till 3 am during which they sang solidarity songs at the Government House Roundabout for about 30 minutes before attacking the facilities.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, confirmed the attacks.

  1. First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.

    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
    I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
    out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out
    how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thank you!
