Some of these escapees have been sending threat messages to policemen who investigated and prosecuted them. One of the escapees convicted for murder killed the prosecution witness that same day in his village but he was rearrested immediately.

Kokumo pleaded with Edo citizens with information about the prisoners on the run to avail the police with such as he asserted that everyone must be part of the restoration process.
