The Nsawam District Police Command has apprehended five individuals suspected of kidnapping, following the abduction of two men who were traveling from Accra to Anyinam.
According to the Police, the victims have been rescued without harm.
The police report stated that on January 10, 2026, the Command received intelligence that the two men had been kidnapped and taken to an unknown location.
The kidnappers allegedly demanded a ransom of GH¢400,000 from the victims’ family in exchange for their release.
Following negotiations, the suspects instructed the family to make an initial deposit of GH¢5,000. Acting swiftly on the information, the police, with support from the Suhum Police, lured the suspects to a drinking spot near the Suhum Roundabout, where all five were arrested.
The suspects have been identified as Suleman Salifu, 24; Godfred Owusu, 26; Antwi Bismark, 27; Anas Salis, 38; and Gyamfi Isaac, 33.
The victims, Seidu Sambiane, 28, and Ibrahim Alhassan, 42, were rescued during the operation.
A search conducted on an unregistered Acura 4×4 vehicle used by the suspects led to the retrieval of several items, including an unspecified amount of forged GH¢100 and GH¢200 currency notes, specimen papers cut to the size of banknotes, and cash totaling GH¢4,600. Police also recovered a pistol, a cutlass, talismans and amulets, as well as five mobile phones.
The suspects are currently in police custody and are assisting with ongoing investigations.
