According to reports, a statement from the Ecuadorian prison department stated that the police and the military successfully regained control of the prison after five hours of operation. Local officials said the violence was caused by a dispute between different gangs in Los Lobos and Los Choneros prisons, involving guns, knives and explosives.
The governor of Guayas Province Pablo then held a press conference and said that prison order had been restored. “It is necessary to make (people) feel the existence of the state and the law.”
