The Tema Regional Police Command is on a manhunt for two persons who escaped from cells at the Prampram Police Station on Monday, April 22, 2019.
DSP Joseph Benefo Darkwa who is the Spokesperson for the Tema Regional Police Command said in a statement that the fugitives who initially were three in number escaped from the prison cell through the ceiling at about 11:20 p.m.
He disclosed that an inmate alerted the police officers on duty after the prisoners had escaped. The officers rushed to the cells only to see the ceiling broken and three inmates namely; Samuel Pardie and Victor Fiagbenu, both on remand, and Michael Nartey, a convicted prisoner, had managed to escape.
