Police find 2 ‘kidnapped’ girls in Tarkwa

Director General of Police CID, DCOP Maame Tiwaah Addo-Danquah Director General of Police CID, DCOP Maame Tiwaah Addo-Danquah

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has confirmed to MyNewsGh.com that all two girls who were supposedly kidnapped in Tarkwa have been found.

One of the girls who is Augustina Ndaago, a first-year Home Economics student of the Tarkwa Senior High School (SHS) was found on Monday morning at Kasoa and on her way to the CID headquarters for further interrogation.

Augustina Ndaago took an exeat from authorities of the school under the guise of going to visit her parents but nothing was heard from her thereafter according to her parents and school authorities.

Authorities of the school claimed Augustina’s brother called the housemistress to inform her that a “supposed” kidnapper had sent him a text message that Augustina together with two others had been kidnapped and were in their custody and therefore demanded a ransom for their release.

This comes days after Maame Darkoa Anomah, 25 who was reported missing at West Tanokrom was later found to have been camped in her boyfriend’s room at Prestea for more than a week enjoying herself.

In the case of Maame Darkoa Anomah, Director General of Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) DCOP Maame Tiwaah Addo-Danquah said “It is something that we have arrested the suspect. Apparently, the lady met the guy, the guy proposed to the lady and she followed him to his house and they slept.

The man is in police custody and we have begun investigation. That lady is around, we are talking to him and we are interrogating the suspect to understand the circumstances under which the whole issue happened”
