A 17-year-old student from PRESEC, Legon, has been kidnapped while on his way back to Obuasi. The family has received disturbing images from the unknown captors, which adds to the gravity of the situation. Despite reporting the incident to the police CID headquarters and informing PRESEC officials, the progress in the case has been frustratingly slow.
The disturbing images sent to the boy’s family by the unknown captors, revealing the grave danger he’s facing. The immediate action taken by the parents in reporting the incident to the police CID headquarters and informing PRESEC officials is commendable. However, it’s disheartening to hear that the progress in the case has been slow. The school authorities have mentioned that their ability to act is limited since the kidnapping occurred off-campus.
The demands made by the captors and the threats they’ve made regarding the student’s safety. The fact that the initial ransom amount was so high and that the family had to resort to sending a reduced amount via Mobile Money in a desperate attempt to secure the student’s release is truly heartbreaking.
The kidnappers have increased their demand by an additional GH¢300,000. The fact that the student has been in captivity for over six days is incredibly concerning, and it’s understandable that his family is growing more desperate for government intervention and police assistance. The community’s rallying support is important in ensuring the safe return of the young student. This incident really highlights the terrifying reality of kidnapping and raises important questions about the safety and security measures for students both on and off school premises.
