CONAKRY—Guinea’s former military ruler, Moussa Dadis Camara, was sprung from prison by heavily armed men in the early hours of Saturday along with three other officers, the justice minister said, prompting a nationwide manhunt.

Soldiers patrolled the streets of the capital Conakry in armoured personnel carriers, as armed officers stopped and searched passing cars and set up makeshift road blocks with their vehicles.
