Montie 3 ‘Missing’ From Nsawam

Information reaching The Chronicle indicates that barely two hours after news broke that President John Dramani Mahama had granted remission of the prison sentence imposed on the infamous Montie trio, they were relocated from the Nsawam Medium Security Prison.

According to the paper's sources at the Nsawam Prison, Salifu Maase, aka Mugabe, Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn, who were found guilty and sentenced to four months imprisonment each by the Supreme Court, have been taken to an unknown location.

The paper can, however, not confirm where they have been transferred to, at the time of going to press. The Chronicle gathered that the Montie 3 were moved out of the prison yard at about 8:00pm on Monday, a few hours after President Mahama had announced a reduction of their jail term.

Continuing, the paper's source pointed out that it is one of the normal routine security arrangements, saying many inmates within the yard have in one way or the other gone through similar ordeal.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Ghana Prisons Service, ASP Courage Atsem told  Kasapafmonline.com that he cannot confirm or deny the story because they do that from time to time.

“We don't disclose the location of our inmates so I am unable to answer that question”, he noted. The three are due to return from the Nsawam Prisons on Friday, August 26, 2016. This is after President John Dramani Mahama, on Monday, announced a reduction of their jail sentence.
