Justice Minister Cllr. Oswald Tweh has confirmed that 10 out of the 47 inmates who escaped from the Kakata Central Prison during a major jailbreak on September 10, 2024, have been rearrested. The mass escape occurred after inmates overpowered the limited number of security officers on duty.
Minister Tweh disclosed during a press briefing that the Government of Liberia has launched an extensive search operation to recapture all the escapees. He assured the public that efforts to apprehend the remaining 37 fugitives are ongoing.
“The rearrest of these individuals is just the beginning,” Minister Tweh stated. “Our security forces are working around the clock to ensure that all those who escaped are brought back to justice.”
The jailbreak has raised concerns about the security of correctional facilities across the country, prompting calls for a review of prison operations and enhanced security measures.
