An Aflao circuit court presided over by Mr Ali Baba Batturi adjourned the case of the seven suspected criminals who escaped from Police cell in Denu April 22, 2015.
[contextly_sidebar id=”XTG6JQBeMG35pRwEltlW5i8zH3JE9ejm”]On Friday March 15, seven suspected criminals escaped from a cell in the Denu Police Station and made away with two Police rifles.
Five of the escapees were re-arrested with the two Nigerians still at large.
At the court, the 5 suspects together with some two other accomplices who were said to have aided the plot pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The 5 re-arrested suspected criminals were charged with four counts of breaking gaol, causing unlawful damage to three padlocks belonging to Ghana police service, escaping from cell as well as stealing guns and ammunitions.
The court therefore adjourned the hearing of the case to next week 22nd April.
In a related development, Police in the Volta Region say they will liaise with the International Police (Interpol) in Nigeria, to help re-arrest the remaining suspects who escaped from the Denu Police cell last month.
The Police believe the remaining two who are of Nigerian descent could be hiding in their home country.
