A remand prisoner who escaped from jail together with two others has been recaptured by Police at Dabala in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region.

The three according to a GNA report sighted by GhanaWeb escaped from jail at night on November 21, 2021, after creating a hole in the wall of the cell which they shared.
However, Azumah was recaptured at Vekon in the Sogakope area upon a tip off.
Head of Public Affairs for the Volta Regional Police Command, DSP Effia Tenge notes that fervent search is underway to apprehend the remaining suspects.
She has thus appealed to the public to the police by assisting the police with information that can lead to the arrest of the fugitives.
