“A member of the ‘Black Coat’ approached me and asked me to be sleeping with him because there were no women there,” he told Crime Check Ghana.
“I did not give in to that and they started making attempts on my life… They poisoned my food and even sprayed hazardous substances on my bed but I survived.”
Asante said he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a crime he committed but only spent two years of the sentence at the Koforidua Prison before being transferred to Ankaful.

“When the Black Coat members offend, they are locked up in the guard room for some time and then freed. I once saw the group filling the refrigerator of one of the officers with drinks,” he said.
“I want you to know the corruption in prison. There are prison inmates who are building mansions in their hometowns.
“The prisoners have been trading with the officers in prison and there is corruption going on there,” the ex-convict added.
