He said thoughts of him being in prison for the next twenty –four years with his condition is seriously affecting his health.
“I have not been able to access the needed health care and food to enable my condition for the better.
“I currently still depend on the food provided for the inmates and also depend on other inmates to be able to carry out my daily activities”, he told Savannahnews.
The inmate is therefore appealing to philanthropists in the region and beyond to assist him seek proper medical care and also with some food and toiletries.
The Public Relations Officer for the Wa Central Prisons, Mr. Emmanuel Djangmah, also appealed to the public for support for the inmate whom he admitted needed urgent help to ameliorate his current condition.
He noted that, it would be difficult to grant the prisoner amnesty because “persons sentenced for armed robbery cannot be granted such privileges”.
