Police in Ghana has
arrested eight suspects, comprising five Ghanaians and three Nigerians for
their alleged involvement in the kidnapping of two Canadians in Ghana.
The victims, Lauren
Patricia Catherine Tilley 19 and Bailey Jordan Chitly were rescued by Ghanaian
security operatives, early Wednesday at Sawaba, a Kumasi suburb.
During a press briefing in
Accra, the Minister of Information, Hon. Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, on Wednesday,
revealed that eight suspects, including five Ghanaians and three Nigerians have
been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of 2 Canadians.
While giving a brief
explanation of the rescue operation, Nkrumah disclosed that one of the
Nigerians was believed to be the leader of the gang.
“Gunshots were fired from
within the premises. But the brief we had was that it took about 25 minutes to
complete the operation. “At the end of the operation, the two Nigerians, who
were holding the women had been subdued. And a third Nigerian, believed to be
the leader of the gang was arrested later at a separate location,” he said.
The Minister further said
the arrested persons were in custody. One of the suspects sustained minor
injuries during the operation, he revealed. Nkrumah added that other
investigations and possible arrests were still ongoing.
Regarding the rescued
ladies , the Minister said they have been flown to Accra and they have been in
contact with the Canadian authorities. Nkrumah, who assured that the ladies
were fine, however said they were undergoing necessary evaluations, following a
traumatic incident like that.
The Minister expressed
appreciation to the combined team of Ghana security agencies, especially the
Ghana Police Service, particularly the Criminal Investigations Department and
the Ashanti Regional Police Command, the Bureau of National Investigations and
the Special Weapons and Tactics Unit and other units of the National Security
Council Secretariat for their efforts in rescuing the ladies. He assured the
Ghanaian public and the International community that Ghana was safe.
“Ghana security agencies
continue to assure the Ghanaian public, including travellers that Ghana is
safe. And they have what it takes to secure their enterprises in the country,”
he declared.
