The Ofaakor District Police Command have arrested Michael Asiamah 24-year-old man popularly known as \u201cGaza,\u201d who allegedly kidnapped two children at Congo Villa, a suburb of Kasoa in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.<\/p>\n
According to DSP Christopher Darkey, the Ofaakor District Police Commander, on October 30, 2018, Salamatu Iddrisu, mother of the two children, reported an incident of kidnapping to the police.<\/p>\n
Speaking to\u00a0Citi News\u00a0on the issue, DSP Christopher Darkey, explained that Michael Asiamah, the kidnapper, visited Salamatu Iddrisu at Congo Villa, a suburb of Kasoa and engaged her two children in a game as a decoy to kidnap them.<\/p>\n
DSP Christopher Darkey noted that after few hours, the children were nowhere to be found including Michael Asiamah, and this prompted Salamtu to report the incident to the Police.<\/p>\n
Various calls to Michael Asiamah\u2019s phone to ascertain the whereabouts of the two children proved futile, the Ofaakor District Commander noted.<\/p>\n
According to the Police Commander, Michael Asiamah kidnapped the children and demanded that Salamatu pays an amount of 3,000 GHC before releasing the kids.<\/p>\n
Salamatu in a bid to get her children back from the kidnapper made an initial payment of 1,500.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter Salamatu made the initial payment of 1,500, he released one of the children,\u201d DSP Darkey added.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe abandoned one of the children at the Tema roundabout, and with the help of a good Samaritan, the boy was taken to the Ashaiman Police Station\u201d the Ofaakor Commander explained.<\/p>\n
But intelligence information on the part of the Ofaakor District Police Command led to the arrest of Michael Asiamah at his hideout in Prampram.<\/p>\n
He would be processed to court on Thursday, DSP Christopher Darkey noted.<\/p>\n
