Rampaging Protesters Set Fire on Ikoyi Prison and Loot Massive State Palliative Warehouse
ICMS, Inc. Reports
By Tom Okure, Ph.D.
The protesting and rampaging youths are persistent and angry and still out in the streets of Lagos and seeking revenge on any symbols of government authority. Today they targeted the Ikoyi Correctional
facility and set buildings on fire. They also discovered a very large warehouse containing food palliatives that we presume was stored by the state government to be distributed to the public but is apparently still stored away for whatever reason. The warehouse is being looted and trashed as we write this report. Lagos state government appears to be loosing control of the crisis situation with the youth. The curfew, and police water cannons etc. appears to be ineffective at deterring the determined youths from rampaging government facilities, looting and setting buildings on fire
Despite the 72 hours curfew imposed by the Lagos
State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu which is still in effect, the youths have managed to defy the orders and are in the streets.
In addition to the warehouse looting today, the youths have attacked the Ikoyi Correctional facility and set the correctional facility buildings on fire as we are writing. Gunfire could be heard as large groups of invading youth forced their way into the facility premises. The prison staff does not appear to be able stop the hoodlums as the entered the facility in large unruly groups.
Efforts of Lagos state to begin any type of meaningful dialogue with the angry youths also appears to be unsuccessful, in part because there is no recognizable leader among the angry youths that the government can talk to. The original peaceful protesting #EndSARS Youths appear to have been hijacked by hoodlums and criminal youth gangs in Lagos now determined to inflict as much destruction as possible on government facilities.
