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 without harm.
According to police, intelligence received on January 10, 2026, indicated that the two men had been abducted and taken to an unknown location. The suspects allegedly demanded a ransom of GH¢400,000 from the victims’ family and later instructed them to make an initial payment of GH¢5,000.
Acting swiftly on the information, officers from the Nsawam District Police Command, with support from the Suhum Police, devised an operation that led to the arrest of the suspects at a drinking spot near the Suhum Roundabout.
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 conducted on an unregistered Acura 4×4 vehicle used by the suspects led to the retrieval of several items, including an unspecified amount of forged GH¢100 and GH¢200 notes, specimen papers cut to the size of banknotes, and cash totaling GH¢4,600. Police also recovered a pistol, a cutlass, talismans and amulets, as well as five mobile phones.
The suspects are currently in police custody and are assisting police with ongoing investigations.
