Contrary to earlier reports that the fire had been set by the inmates, Public Relations Officer of the prison, ASP Annan, stated that the fire started after a part of the building was struck by lightning during a storm.
He told reporters that the inmates had been asked to come outside while the fire was being attended to, but some of them attempted to flee.
A member of the police service who spoke to Accra-based TV3 stated that no prisoner managed to escape although that claim has not as yet been officially been confirmed.
