The Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with the National Signals Bureau (NSB) and the Nigeria Police Force, has successfully rescued two female victims who were seen in a viral kidnapping video that sparked widespread concern and national outrage.
The two victims, who were being held captive at undisclosed locations, were freed following a series of intelligence-led operations conducted across both Ghana and Nigeria. The Ghana Police confirmed on Thursday, via a statement released on X (formerly Twitter), that eight suspects have so far been arrested in connection with the case. The arrests took place at multiple hideouts in both countries.
Authorities say further details will be made public in due course as investigations continue.
The Ghana Police Service expressed deep appreciation to the National Signals Bureau and the Nigeria Police Force for their crucial support and cooperation in the successful rescue operation.
A 39-year-old woman at Asiakwa in the Abuakwa South Municipality of the Eastern Region was allegedly kidnapped by unknown men. The victim, Ama Serwaa Konadu, a popular hairdresser and event decorator in the area, was abducted on Tuesday, April 22, when she left her home to work.
Her abductors, the next day, released several nude videos of her through her phone to family members, assaulting her in the video with a machete.
Her abductors, who claimed to be holding her in Nigeria, demanded a GH₵500,000 ransom before they release her.
The family lodged a formal complaint with the Ghana Police Service and sister security and intelligence agencies, making available to them all the videos to aid their investigations.
