Female hip-life artist Mzbel is appealing to President Kufuor to detail some security personnel to provide her with guard duties as the police launch a manhunt for some suspects allegedly involved in her robbery and sexual assault.
The two suspects who were being held for robbing and assaulting Mzbel were among four persons the Odorkor police were fervently looking for after they escaped from custody at the weekend.
The two, Kennedy Agodzi and Munkiala Tahiru reportedly broke away from their Odorkor Police cells around 10pm on Saturday. The other two escapee suspects, Godson Wubube who was being held for robbery and Eric Atiamu, held in connection with a murder case at Sowutuom also escaped, taking advantage of a power cut at the time.
They were said to have overpowered the policeman on duty by pouring a liquid believed to contain pepper into his eyes when he opened the cell gate to admit a new inmate.
Even though the Odorkor Police said they had launched a manhunt for the arrest of the escapees, Mzbel said she has been living in fear since she heard the news of the jail break by the suspects. She told Joy News she was sorely traumatized.
Another suspect also held in connection with Mzbel’s case, named only as Emmanuel was left out of the entire operation because according to other remaining cellmates, he did not cooperative with his co-accused.
The four were said to have communicated in about six different foreign languages ostensibly to keep their plans from being exposed and cowed their mates into submission.
On the night of the escape, around 10 pm on Saturday, the remaining cellmates said they were awoken by the noise of the banging cell gate and the crash of the officer to the ground and rushed to shut the gate to prevent more inmates from bolting.
They said they were astonished by the incident, which happened so quickly in the dark.
They said they found out later that the escapees had splashed water laced with pepper on the police officer. The Odorkor police will not blame the cell break on the load shedding exercise but said they could have at least gotten wind of the operation from their regular peeps into the cell and prevent it.
