Fayose turns prayer warrior in prison

But in a swift reaction, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Prisons in Lagos state, Superintendent of Prisons (SP) Ope Fatunkun, said that Fayose’s spiritual exercise was personal as the prison authorities provided enough food for about 2,300 inmates including the erstwhile governor during the festive period.
