No visit and food after 6pm-DSP Kwesi Ofori
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, Sepr 22, Ghanadot - The
Police Administration has ordered that no one be allowed to
visit suspects after 6pm in their cells, either to provide
them with food or any personal effects.
The Director of Public Affairs at the Police headquarters,
DSP Kwesi Ofori who disclosed this to Peace FM, said the
directive is to stem cell breaks at Police Stations across
the country.
It would be recalled that over the weekend, 14 suspects,
some of them high profile criminals under investigations,
escaped from the Community 22 cells in Tema.
Luck however eluded two of the suspects who were re-arrested
when the Ghana Police Serviced mounted a manhunt for them.
12 of the suspects are still on the run.
The sergeant was reportedly dragged into the cell when he
opened the locks to serve the ‘hungry’ inmates, and in a
Rambo-style, all the inmates escaped.
Whilst appealing to the public to assist in apprehending the
other escapers, DSP Kwesi Ofori called for the introduction
of additional personnel to assist Counter Officers, in
keeping a good eye on suspects.
“I think just like the Accra Central Police Station,
measures should be taken to provide additional guard men to
help Counter Police Officers in managing suspects in Police
cells”, he said.
