“The Akim Oda police are investigating a case of kidnapping involving one Georgina Ama Amenyo, a 20-year-old JHS student who sneaked out of her home at Amanase near Achiase and failed to return home. On 24th January her mother Esther Brado managed to trace the whereabouts of her secret boyfriend Joseph Prah who is also a 19-years-old JHS 2 student at Akim Manso who admitted accommodating Georgina for just a night but claimed he saw her off to go home the following day.”
“When Georgina failed to return home her mother informed the police and we apprehended him who then denied knowledge of the whereabouts of Georgina and insisted he saw her off the following day. A brassiere, cover cloth, slippers were found in Joseph’s room upon a search,” he added.
