Man arrested for hiding hacksaw blades in bread for remand prisoner at Kasoa
Mohammed Hamidu, a 42-year-old herbalist, was arrested for attempting to smuggle hacksaw blades concealed in a loaf of bread to a remand prisoner at the Kasoa Central Business District Police Station. The arrest occurred on April 14, 2026, at about 8:00 p.m. by officers on duty at the charge office. The suspect had brought food items, including six bottled soft drinks and a loaf of bread, intended for a remand prisoner, Cephas Bubune Sisiawovor, who is in custody over a robbery case.
A routine search of the items revealed two newly acquired hacksaw blades hidden inside the loaf of bread. Preliminary investigations indicate that the remand prisoner had allegedly instructed the suspect during an earlier visit to collect the items from an individual identified only as Emmanuel near the Lucky Herbal Clinic in Kasoa. Police say the retrieved items have been kept as exhibits.
The suspect remains in police custody assisting with investigations, while efforts are ongoing to track down the said Emmanuel, who is currently on the run. The Command has commended officers for their vigilance and warned the public against engaging in acts that could compromise security, stressing that "offenders will be dealt with in accordance with the law."
