Reports reaching peacefmonline.com indicate that the newspaper editor has been moved from the Ho Prisons, a few days after being moved from the Nsawam Prisons. It is yet unknown where he has been moved to but security operatives have explained that is how the prison system is run.

According to Sammy Awuku, he had earlier visited the Ho Prisons on Friday to commiserate with Kenneth Kuranchie and to show some support, but was barred from seeing him because Ken had exhausted his visiting period for the week.
