BIG HUNT FOR POACHER (MIRROR, PAGE 30)

From Emmanuel Modey, Hohoe

The Nkwanta Police in the Volta Region has mounted a search for one Kwasi Owusu, a poacher from Keri, who illegally entered the Kyabobo National Park and killed five Duiker's and threatened to shoot the staff of the Forestry Commission of the Wildlife Commission.
He was remanded in police custody by the Nkwanta Magistrate Court on charges of threatening and unlawful entry into the National Park.
Last Monday, on April 28, he pleaded with the court that he was not feeling well so he was sent to Nkwanta District Hospital for treatment. While at the hospital, he escaped from the grip of the policeman who was escorting him, into the bush.
The police is therefore appealing to the general public to assist in his arrest.
