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.

Some nine prisoners who broke jail in Nigeria on April 5 have been arrested in Ghana. They were re-arrested by the Ada District Police Command in the Greater Accra Region. The escapees are suspected to be part of over 1,800 inmates who escaped from a prison in Nigeria after it was attacked by gunmen earlier this month.
The attackers reportedly entered the Nigerian prison yard in the South-Eastern town of Owerri by using explosives to blast the administrative block.
According to the police, the fugitives closely monitored based on intelligence as they crossed the Volta River into Ada Foh on Sunday, April 18. The investigative team, however, tracked them to an area known as Clinic Junction Lorry Station and seized the Sprinter bus which had the Nigerian suspected jailbreakers on board.
