Kadjebi: One of two suspects who escaped from police cells at the Kadjebi Police Station in the Oti Region on Saturday afternoon has been re-arrested. The other suspect is still at large, and the Kadjebi Police Command has announced a reward of GHC2,000 for information leading to his capture.

Gyapong, was taken to the St. Mary Theresa Catholic Hospital in Dodi-Papase for medical treatment and is now responding to care.

Supt. Asomaning further revealed that one of the escapees was re-arrested on Sunday, September 21, and is currently back in police custody. The police are actively working to re-arrest the second escapee, and investigations into the escape have already begun.
