the padlock to the entrance gate was tampered with. Further checks were made and it revealed that two bars within the cell were cut.
The matter was then reported to the Officer-in-Charge of Mazaruni Prison, Senior Superintendent (ag) Kofi David. David then ordered a roll call and upon conclusion, the four convicted prisoners who were housed in the Brick Prison were unaccounted for.
