Ghana: sixteen abductees found in a room

Sixteen people were found kidnapped in a single room at Ankaful Zongo in the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly in the Central Region of Ghana.

The victims, aged 12 and 20, are believed not to be Ghanaians as they were unable to speak any local language.

They are suspected to be nationals of countries such as Burkina Faso, Togo, Mali, and Niger as they speak different languages including French.

The victims are believed to have been kept in the room for about one month as they’ve grown very lean due to lack of food and water.

The Chief of Ankaful, Nana Abura Asankoma III, is appealing to the security agencies to launch an investigation and arrest the suspected kidnappers.
