Investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo has said that it is impossible for unarmed protesters to break into a prison.

He stated this after reports said that some alleged EndSARS protesters stormed a prison in Edo State and freed the inmates.

In reaction, Soyombo gave reasons why the reports may not be true.

He said:

”As someone who lived eight days in prison as an inmate during an undercover investigation, I can tell you that it is NOT possible for unarmed protesters or hoodlums to break into a prison in Edo State or elsewhere and set inmates free. Ko possible, sir.

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.”
