One of the six inmates who escaped from the Konongo Police cells in the Asante Akyem Central Municipality of the Ashanti Region has been rearrested, while efforts continue to track down the remaining five who are at large.
One of the six inmates who escaped from the Konongo Police cells in the Ashanti Region has been rearrested, according to Asante Akyem Central Municipal Chief Executive, Dr Ebenezer Ekow Aidoo. Police are still searching for the remaining five escapees. The inmates reportedly fled through a hole dug towards the station’s washrooms, then jumped down and escaped.
Police immediately launched a manhunt, resulting in the arrest of one of the escapees in a Kumasi suburb. Dr Aidoo stated that the Municipal Security Council is taking steps to enhance security at the facility, including reinforcing walls and planning to build a new police station. Additionally, there will be an increase in police officers patrolling the area, especially at night.
After the incident, measures will also include improved lighting and the installation of surveillance cameras to monitor activities and prevent future escapes.
