A Nigerian and Ghanaian drug kingpins have reportedly escaped from a prison cell in Ghana.

The Nigerian, Chukuda Onyabu 27, and the Ghanaian suspect, Emmanuel Osei, 26, were remanded in Abokobi Police Cells near Adenta in the Greater Accra Region.

They reportedly escaped from prison after digging through the prison wall.

The suspects who are facing charges of possession of narcotic drugs and conspiracy to commit crimes and stealing respectively, were detained in prison custody while awaiting the next court date.

However on January 1, 2021, it was detected that the two suspected criminals had escaped from the cells by using the iron rod used at the ventilation hole of the bathroom’s door to scrape a portion of the cell’s wall and removed one of the blocks. They reportedly escaped through the hole they created.

It was further learnt that efforts are underway to arrest the suspects whose images have been circulated to various police outlets in and outside Accra.
