The Police have begun a manhunt for some seven suspects who were freed from police custody by a group of armed robbers on Sunday dawn.

The armed robbers set the inmates who were in cells at the Kwabenya Police District Headquarters free after shooting the officer on duty to death.

The Greater Accra Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Efia Tenge, in a statement revealed that the suspects were six Ghanaians and a Nigerian.

The escapees are aged between 20 and 34.

The Greater Regional Police Command has also called on the public to volunteer useful information that will help in the rearrest of the escapees.
