BEVERLY HILLS, October 20, (THEWILL) – Nigerian actor and comedian, Kunle Idowu, popularly called Frank Donga, has aired his opinion over Monday’s jail break in Benin City, Edo State following the protests to end police brutality codenamed #EndSARS.
THEWILL recalls that hoodlums had reportedly forced their way into the Nigeria Correctional Centre along Sapele Road in the heart of Benin City, the capital of Edo State, on Monday and released over 200 prisoners.
Reacting to this development, the comedian stated that the funds allocated to the Correction Center should have been able to effectively secure its walls and gates.
“Where are the CCTVs in Benin prisons?” He tweeted.
“The Nigeria Prisons Service allocations increased from N4 Billion in 2015 to N16 Billion yearly from 2016-2018 (that’s N50 Billion for 240 prisons).
“They bought 245 vehicles between 2016-17 and spent N800M on firearms. I tweet in peace. #EndSARS.”
“Funds allocated for prisons are: N2.64Billion (provision and construction), N3.27 Billion (rehabilitation and repair), 2017 N7.07 Billion (provision and construction), N153.79 Million (rehabilitations and repair) 2018, N8.07Billion (provision construction) and N3.42 Billion (procession and repair).”
