Christian Abusa, 37, one of the six inmates who escaped from the Dzodze police cells on November 23, this year, was on Wednesday jailed two years in hard labour by a Circuit Court at Aflao.
Kwame Kotoka, the first escapee to be re-arrested is currently serving a similar sentence, while four other including Dzifa Abusah, 40, who stole an AK 47 assault rifle and some rounds of ammunition belonging to the Ghana Police Service before fleeing, are still at large.
Abusa, who was arrested by a group of young men at Deme, a village along the Ghana Togo border when he attempted to cross into Togo with five sheep, will reappear before the court on December 27, to face a charge of stealing.
Police Chief Inspector Enoch Adjatey, told the court presided over by Mr Francis Opoku that Abusa and five others who were involved in various stealing cases, were remanded in custody by the Dzodze Community Tribunal to reappear on November 28.
The prosecution said Abusa stole a police baton from the charge office, while his cousin, Dzifa stole the rifle and ammunition.
On December 13, at about 0200 hours, Abusah stole the sheep worth 500,000 cedis belonging to Mr. Agbogla Ekpe, a 70 year- old blind farmer at Deme.
Passing sentence, Mr. Opoku urged the police to intensify their search for Dzifa to retrieve the arm and ammunition.
