Kidnappers: Suspects Arrested, Victims Unscathed

The Nsawam District Police Command has made a significant breakthrough in a kidnapping case, arresting five suspects involved in the abduction of two men traveling from Accra to Anyinam. The victims, Seidu Sambiane, 28, and Ibrahim Alhassan, 42, were rescued unharmed, thanks to the swift action of the police.

According to the Ghana Police Service, the incident occurred on January 10, 2026, after they received a tip-off that the two men had been kidnapped. The abductors had demanded a ransom of GH¢400,000, with an initial deposit of GH¢5,000.

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, identified as Suleman Salifu, Godfred Owusu, Antwi Bismark, Anas Salis, and Gyamfi Isaac, are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations.

A search of the suspects’ unregistered Acura 4×4 vehicle revealed forged GH¢100 and GH¢200 notes, papers cut to resemble banknotes, GH¢4,600 in cash, a pistol, a cutlass, talismans, amulets, and five mobile phones.

The police operation was a significant success, with the victims rescued without harm. The Ghana Police Service has assured the public of its commitment to tackling such crimes.
