\n

The suspects<\/strong><\/p>\n

It appears the
\nGH\u00a2200,000 bail with two sureties each granted to some members of the alleged
\ncriminal gang who kidnapped the two Canadian ladies\u00a0 in Kumasi is beyond their execution, as they
\nare still struggling to meet the bail terms.<\/p>\n

It has been more
\nthan a month since an Accra High Court granted four out of the eight accused
\npersons bail after their respective lawyers fought for it in the court,
\npresided over by Justice George Buadi.<\/p>\n

But the accused
\npersons continue to be held in the detention of the Bureau of National
\nInvestigations (BNI) as a result of their inability to get people to stand as
\nsureties for them.<\/p>\n

Seidu Abubakari
\naka Nba, who was initially rumoured to be the ringleader
\nof the group, Abdul Nasir, Safianu Abubakari and Abdul Rahman Suleiman aka Wofa
\nwere on July 25, 2019 each granted a GH\u00a2200,000 bail with two sureties each,
\none each to be justified by the court.<\/p>\n

But they have not
\nbeen able to meet the terms of the bail and were subsequently brought to court
\ntogether with the other four accused persons by personnel of the BNI.<\/p>\n

Sources had on
\nthe previous court sitting day told DAILY GUIDE <\/em><\/strong>that persons willing to
\nstand sureties for Seidu Abubakar and one other accused person have presented
\ndocuments to the registry of the court.<\/p>\n

According to
\nsources, the court had begun taking steps to confirm the authenticity of the
\ndocuments and the values of the properties being used as justification for the
\nbail.<\/p>\n

It is, however,
\nnot clear whether the sureties could not meet the bail terms as set by the
\ncourt, which is why the accused persons are still in detention.<\/p>\n

At yesterday\u2019s
\nproceedings, the court presided over by a vacation judge, Justice Ekow Baiden,
\nadjourned the matter to September 19, 2019 since the case was only scheduled
\nfor mention until the end of the legal vacation for the substantive judge to
\nresume sitting on the matter.<\/p>\n

Arrest\/Trial<\/strong><\/p>\n

An all-Ghanaian
\nsecurity operation led by the National Security on June 12 rescued the two
\nCanadian ladies who were abducted from the gates of their hostel in a Kumasi
\nsuburb last month.<\/p>\n

They were said to
\nhave kidnapped their victims and kept them in an uncompleted building on the
\noutskirts of town and demanded a ransom of $800,000.<\/p>\n

The two ladies
\nhad boarded an Uber to their hostel at Nhyiayeso behind the Vienna Hotel but
\nwere accosted by the accused persons when they arrived at their destination and
\nalighted from the car.<\/p>\n

They are Sampson Aghalor aka Romeo, Elvis Ojiyorwe, Jeff Omarsar, Yusif Yakubu, Abdul Nasir, Seidu Abubakar aka Mba, Safianu Abubakari and Abdul Rahman Suleman aka Wofa.<\/p>\n
