The Comptroller General of Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) Kwame Asuah Takyi has sent wireless messages to immigration officers on Ghanaian borders to be vigilante and intensify security as the recent Nigerian jailbreakers could head to Ghana to hide.
More than 1,800 inmates of a prison in southern Nigeria escaped this week after heavily armed men attacked the facility in the early hours of the morning, prison authorities said on Monday.
The attackers used explosives to make their way into the Owerri prison in the state of Imo before starting a gun battle with prison guards, the national corrections authority.
Other government buildings in the town of Owerri also came under attack at the same time.
According to the Comptroller General of GIS, Ghana could be an attractive destination to the fugitives hence the need to tighten security.
