The Nsawam District Police Command has arrested five suspects in connection with the kidnapping of two men travelling from Accra to Anyinam, successfully rescuing the victims unharmed.
Police said they received intelligence on January 10, 2026, indicating that the two men had been abducted and taken to an unknown location.
The suspects reportedly demanded a ransom of GH¢400,000 from the victims’ family and later instructed them to pay an initial amount of GH¢5,000.
Acting on the information, the Nsawam Police, with support from the Suhum Police Command, mounted an operation that lured the suspects to a drinking spot near the Suhum Roundabout, where all five were arrested.
The suspects have been identified as Suleman Salifu, 24; Godfred Owusu, 26; Antwi Bismark, 27; Anas Salis, 38; and Gyamfi Isaac, 33.
The victims, Seidu Sambiane, 28, and Ibrahim Alhassan, 42, were rescued during the operation.
A search of an unregistered Acura 4×4 vehicle used by the suspects led to the recovery of forged GH¢100 and GH¢200 notes, specimen papers cut to the size of banknotes, and cash amounting to GH¢4,600. Police also retrieved a pistol, a cutlass, talismans and amulets, as well as five mobile phones.
The suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations.
