The Ghana Prisons Service has declared 29-year-old convict Peter Kyeremeh wanted after he reportedly escaped from lawful custody.
According to a report published on August 15, 2026, authorities are currently seeking to locate Kyeremeh following his alleged escape from prison custody.
The development has prompted the Prisons Service to intensify efforts to establish the circumstances surrounding the escape and determine how the convict managed to leave custody.
Kyeremeh, who was serving a prison sentence, is now the subject of a search by the relevant authorities. His escape has also raised questions about security arrangements at the facility where he was being held.
The Ghana Prisons Service is expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the events leading up to the escape and whether any security procedures were breached.
Authorities may also examine whether anyone assisted the convict in leaving custody or whether the escape resulted from a security lapse.
The incident comes as another reminder of the responsibility of correctional institutions to maintain secure custody of convicted persons and prevent unauthorised escapes.
Members of the public are expected to cooperate with the appropriate authorities and avoid taking matters into their own hands if they encounter information concerning the case.
The Prisons Service is continuing efforts to locate Kyeremeh and return him to lawful custody.
Further details are expected to emerge as investigations into the escape continue.
The circumstances surrounding his escape, including the exact location and manner in which he allegedly left custody, remain subject to the authorities’ investigation.
