Vanguard learned that trouble
started when prisoners on Thursday morning revolted against the poor treatment,
especially inadequate feeding that has been persistent in the prison for a long
time.
The angry inmates reportedly started rioting
inside the prison and used every object within their reach to attack prison
officials and consequently injured many.
The prison officials, it was
learned, returned fire for fire which resulted in the killing of several
inmates
