The Nsawam District Police Command has arrested five individuals suspected of kidnapping two men traveling from Accra to Anyinam, rescuing the victims unharmed.
Police received intelligence on 10 January 2026 that the victims had been taken to an unknown location. The suspects reportedly demanded a ransom of GH¢400,000, initially instructing the victims’ family to pay GH¢5,000.
Acting promptly, officers from Nsawam, with support from the Suhum Police, lured the suspects to a drinking spot near the Suhum Roundabout, where all five were apprehended.
The suspects have been identified as:
- Suleman Salifu, 24
- Godfred Owusu, 26
- Antwi Bismark, 27
- Anas Salis, 38
- Gyamfi Isaac, 33
The rescued victims are Seidu Sambiane, 28, and Ibrahim Alhassan, 42.
A search of an unregistered Acura 4×4 used by the suspects yielded:
- Forged GH¢100 and GH¢200 notes and specimen papers cut to banknote size
- Cash totaling GH¢4,600
- A pistol, cutlass, talismans, and amulets
- Five mobile phones
The suspects remain in police custody and are cooperating with ongoing investigations.
