They are Godfred Kwabena Asah (5328) and Nana Appiah Kubi (8023).

The statement said that their interdiction would facilitate investigations into the matter during which they would not travel without permission of the officer in charge of the station.
Asamoah who was already serving 20 years imprisonment for robbery was in court to be tried for another offence of conspiracy to rob and robbery when he escaped from the court room.
