Several officers working at the Nsawam Prison have been placed on interdiction. This action comes after allegations surfaced regarding the smuggling of contraband items into the prison. The Ghana Prisons Service has confirmed the interdictions.
An internal investigation has been launched by the service. This is to thoroughly examine the claims and determine their validity.
The specific nature of the contraband items has not been disclosed at this time. Authorities are working to gather all relevant information.
Interdiction means the officers are temporarily suspended from their duties. This allows the investigation to proceed without interference.
The Ghana Prisons Service stated its commitment to maintaining the integrity of correctional facilities. Such investigations are part of ensuring adherence to rules and regulations.
Further details are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
