Three out of six suspects who escaped from police custody at the Adabraka Police station in Accra have been re-arrested by the police.

The remaining three are still on the run, and the police are on a manhunt for them.

Meanwhile, the police have refuted reports suggesting that the suspects who escaped are linked to Sammy Gyamfi’s father-in-law’s murder case.

According to the police, the murder suspects were not in custody at the Adabraka Police Station, and therefore the escapees have no connection with that case.
