The Ghana Police Service says nine Nigerians suspected to be inmates who escaped from the Owerri Correctional Centre during a jailbreak on April 5, have been arrested after arriving the country by boat.
Chief Superintendent Francis Somian, of the Greater Accra Region Police Division, who made the disclosure in a statement on Monday, said the Nigerians, including a female, were arrested while attempting to enter Ghana through the River Volta in Ada Foah.
Somian said the suspects were arrested through super intelligence gathering.
“After profiling the suspects, it was discovered that they were some of the inmates believed to have broken jail in Nigeria and trying to escape to Ghana.
