Family of one of rescued kidnap victims breaks silence

In an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Ama Serwaa’s brother, Felix Danso Gyimah, confirmed she was hale and hearty.

Ama Serwaa Konadu, who is from Asiakwa in the Abuakwa South Municipality of the Eastern Region, and another female were rescued in a joint security operation during which eight suspects were arrested.

She was reportedly abducted on Tuesday, April 22, after leaving home for work.

Following her disappearance, a disturbing video surfaced online showing her being assaulted while her abductors, who claimed she was being held in Nigeria, demanded a ransom of GH₵500,000 for her release.

However, Felix confirmed that Ama was still in Nigeria, where she was rescued and yet to be reunited with her family, although they have been contacted.

“They will be taken to the hospital for a thorough medical examination in Nigeria before any transfer arrangement is made. But we are grateful to God that she has been found and is safe,” he said.

Felix expressed appreciation to the Ghana Police Service, the National Signals Bureau (NSB), and the Nigeria Police Force for their efforts.

He also commended Abuakwa South MP, Dr. Kingsley Agyemang, traditional authorities, and all Ghanaians for their support and prayers during this difficult time.

Although Felix did not disclose the circumstances that led to the kidnapping, he cautioned young girls against being lured and enticed with material things.
