The Tarkwa senior high student who was said to have been kidnapped in the series of kidnapping episodes that have hit the country since September, 2018 was actually not kidnapped.
The student, Augustina Ndaago, was found with her lover who is currently in Police custody. Augustina, a Home Economics student, took an exeat on Wednesday, January 23, to visit her mother in Prestea, and left the school but failed to show up in the house as expected.
A statement from the school said, “on Thursday 24th January, 2019, around 12:30noon, 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.”
The Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service, DCOP Maame Tiwaah Addo-Danquah said the police are interrogating the suspect to understand the circumstances under which he kept the girl overnight.
“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. They slept.
The guy 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,” she said.
