CID Confirms Return of 2 Ghanaian Women rescued in Nigeria

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has confirmed the safe return of two Ghanaian women who were rescued from a human trafficking syndicate in Nigeria.

The victims, Evelyn Serwaa Konadu and Anatasia Baidoo, arrived in Ghana earlier today and are in stable condition, according to CID Director-General DCOP Lydia Yaako Donkor.

Speaking at a press briefing at the CID Headquarters in Accra, DCOP Donkor said the rescue mission was made possible through collaboration between the Ghana Police Service, the Nigeria Police Force, and the National Signals Bureau.

The two women had been kidnapped and trafficked to Nigeria but were successfully located and retrieved following coordinated intelligence and operational efforts.

“Earlier this morning, my team and I received the victims at Kotoka International Airport,” she said. “Both women are in stable condition and will receive the necessary medical attention. Following that, they will go through standard police procedures to assist with ongoing investigations.”

The CID Director-General emphasized the Service’s continued commitment to crime prevention, detection, apprehension, and prosecution, reassuring the public of its dedication to maintaining national safety and security.

In addition to updating the public on the rescue operation, DCOP Donkor issued a caution about a growing trend of romance scams and other online fraud. She urged the public to remain vigilant when engaging with strangers online and to avoid sharing sensitive personal or financial information.

“We urge everyone to exercise heightened caution,” she said. “Report any suspicious behavior to the Police immediately.”

She concluded by expressing appreciation on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to all personnel involved in the rescue mission, as well as to the Nigerian authorities and the National Signals Bureau for their cooperation.
