The spokesperson for the Tema Regional Police Command, DSP Joseph Benefo Darkwa said in a statement that the fugitives, who were three in number, escaped from the prison cell through the ceiling at about 11:20 p.m.
He said another inmate alerted the police on duty only after the prisoners had escaped. The police rushed to the cells and realised that the ceiling of the cells had been broken and two prisoners, namely; Samuel Pardie and Victor Fiagbenu, both on remand, and Michael Nartey, a convicted prisoner, had managed to escape.
DSP Darkwa said an alarm was raised for the immediate search of the suspects, which led to the re-arrest of Michael Nartey by the Prampram Police command at his hideout in Ashaiman.
He added that efforts are being made to get the other suspects who are on the run re-arrested.
The Tema Regional Police Command is, therefore, “seriously appealing to the general public to help re-arrest these suspects”.
