He would later add that a Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officer also helped him break out of police cell after handing him a hacksaw blade hidden in bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although he claimed he could identify the officer, he could not use all opportunities presented by the judge to fish out his accomplice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the previous sitting, the court&nbsp;asked Sam Wills with the assistance of the Police and the BNI to locate his other witnesses, Kwesi and John whom he had earlier led security agencies on a wild-goose-chase for, without success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his sentencing, the judge, His Worship, Michael Ampadu&nbsp;found his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2019\/02\/11\/read-how-taadi-kidnapper-broke-jail\/\">testimony on how he escaped inconsistent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was convicted of all charges and his sentences are to run concurrently. His substantive allegation of kidnapping remains under investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was improved police presence during his conviction. At the previous court hearing March 4, 2019, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2019\/03\/05\/takoradi-mob-action-in-court-kidnap-suspect-beaten\/\">suspect was attacked inside the court<\/a> and also assaulted outside it, forcing him to leave his sandals behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">credit: myjoyonline.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A&nbsp;kidnap suspect who escaped from jail in December 2018 has been sentenced to 18 months in prison by a&nbsp;Takoradi Magistrate court in the Western region. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2019\/04\/29\/takoradi-kidnap-suspect-samuel-udoetuk-wills-jailed-18-months\/\" title=\"Takoradi kidnap suspect, Samuel Udoetuk Wills jailed 18 months\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3438,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15],"tags":[451,75,455],"class_list":["post-3436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-metro-news","tag-bringbackourtaadigirls","tag-crime","tag-kidnapping"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills-150x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills-300x200.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills.jpg","large":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills.jpg","mh-magazine-lite-slider":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills.jpg","mh-magazine-lite-content":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills-600x381.jpg","mh-magazine-lite-large":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills.jpg","mh-magazine-lite-medium":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills-326x245.jpg","mh-magazine-lite-small":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills-80x60.jpg","yarpp-thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills.jpg","sow-carousel-default":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills-272x182.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bf711d428bc8613649773651afe632ce7b73d253d98f0e9ed26da056197e99b5?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":"0","magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"A&nbsp;kidnap suspect who escaped from jail in December 2018 has been sentenced to 18 months in prison by a&nbsp;Takoradi Magistrate court in the Western region. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2019\/04\/29\/takoradi-kidnap-suspect-samuel-udoetuk-wills-jailed-18-months\/\" title=\"Takoradi kidnap suspect, Samuel Udoetuk Wills jailed 18 months\">[...]<\/a>","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Metro News"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":2,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills.jpg",600,400,false],"medium":["https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/samuel-Udotek-Wills-150x150.jpg",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/author\/aptnewsghana_dm662qsx\/"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bf711d428bc8613649773651afe632ce7b73d253d98f0e9ed26da056197e99b5?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/category\/news\/metro-news\/\">Metro News<\/a>","videoUrl":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
