Nine Nigerian inmates who recently escaped during a jailbreak at the Owerri correctional centre in Imo State have been arrested while trying to enter Ghana after arriving in a boat at weekend.
It would be recalled that on April 5, over 1,884 prison inmates were said to have escaped after some armed group arrived in vehicles, carrying rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns and rifles.
They entered the prison’s yard by using explosives to break through the administrative block and then released over 1,844 inmates from the jail.
However, on Monday, 19 April, the police in the Greater Accra Region said they have arrested nine people suspected to be the inmates, including a female who attempted to enter Ghana through the river Volta in Ada.
