The Ghana Police Service has stated that investigations are still underway into the kidnapping of two Ghanaian women who were recently rescued in Nigeria after a viral video highlighted their ordeal.
The rescue, which was achieved through a coordinated cross-border operation involving Ghanaian and Nigerian security agencies, led to the arrest of three suspects in Nigeria and five others in Ghana.
Authorities say the arrests form part of a broader crackdown on a suspected transnational kidnapping syndicate.
Speaking in an interview with Channel One Newsroom on Friday, May 2, the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, confirmed that the victims are safe and in good health, but cautioned that the full facts of the case are yet to be established.
ACP Ansah-Akrofi added that any relevant developments, including details on whether a ransom was demanded, will be communicated once investigations conclude.
She emphasized that the case is being handled based on current facts and that the police will continue to provide updates in due course.
“The victims have been rescued and they are well. They are alive and well. We’re yet to complete our investigations. As soon as our investigations are over, we will give the public full details of the whole incident.
“And other dynamics that the public needs to know, we will draw everyone’s attention accordingly. In the meantime, we’re dealing with the case as it is, and we will keep the public updated in due course,” she assured.
