A dozen Nigerian individuals, including a heavily pregnant woman, have reportedly escaped from police custody.
They were initially apprehended separately and then sent to the National Operations Department (JOC) at Police Headquarters in Accra for questioning. Subsequently, they were placed in police custody but have now vanished.
According to credible sources, the Nigerian High Commission is actively seeking information about these suspects.
It remains uncertain whether the Police administration deported them to their home country due to suspicions of their involvement in criminal activities in Ghana.
