Inmates have reportedly set the Sapele Correctional Service Centre on fire on Monday.
It was also learnt that the inmates set the Sapele correctional Centre on fire because 25 inmates were granted amnesty by the state government, but only three persons have been released.
Sources also told The Punch that lack of food and water in Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State also contributed to the cause of the protest.
The Punch gathered that the inmates had around 8 am protested over poor welfare situation in the correctional centre.
It was gathered that it took the efforts of security agencies to ensure that none of the inmates escaped.
