The Police and Army have reportedly foiled an attempted jailbreak at Ikoyi, Lagos prison today.

Although, there is a report of a fire outbreak at the prison facility, no jailbreak.

“I can see them from my balcony at the moment. Soldiers and policemen have arrived. I saw prisoners throwing stones and I saw fire.
“A lot of the prison officials have gathered at the entrance of the prison while some of the inmates have retreated,” an eyewitness said.
