The suspects were located in various hideouts across the two countries, demonstrating effective cooperation between law enforcement agencies to track and apprehend the perpetrators.

The Ghana Police Service confirmed the arrests and rescues, stating that further details regarding the operation would be released as investigations continue.

Background

Reports indicate that a 39-year-old woman from Asiakwa in the Abuakwa South Municipality of the Eastern Region was allegedly kidnapped by unknown assailants. The victim, Ama Serwaa Konadu, a well-known hairdresser and event decorator, was abducted on Tuesday, April 22, while leaving her home for work.

The following day, her abductors sent several nude videos of her via her phone to family members, showing her being assaulted with a machete. They claimed to be holding her in Nigeria and demanded a ransom of GH?500,000 for her release.

In response, the family lodged a formal complaint with the Ghana Police Service and other security and intelligence agencies, providing all available videos to assist in the investigation.
