Operatives of the Edo state police command has rearrested three inmates who escaped from the two correctional centres in Edo following the attack on the centres by hoodlums during the #EndSARS protest over alleged armed robbery.
The state police commissioner Johnson Kokumon said the three escapees would be charged for escaping detention as well as the fresh crime committed.
