An alleged 32-year-old kidnapper, identified as Alhassan, has been rushed to the hospital after he was thrashed mercilessly by some angry residents for kidnapping two children at Ahenkro in the Afigya Kwabre North district of the Ashanti Region.
Alhassan was said to have kidnapped the kids on 31st July and posed as their sibling when questioned. After he was asked more questions, the residents of Ahenkro realized that Alhassan was a foreigner who knew nothing about the kids he claimed were his siblings.
The angry residents then attacked brutally before handing him over to the police in Afigya Kwabre North.
In an interview, the Boaman District Police Commander, ASP Edward Odame confirmed the incident and revealed that the suspect is receiving treatment at the St. Patrick Hospital.
“The suspect was brought in by some residents of Ahenkro but we had to refer him for immediate medical attention so he is currently receiving treatment at St Patrick hospital. Afterwards, we will arraign him before the court for the necessary action to be taken”, the ASP revealed.
The father of the two kids, Mr. Mohammed Yusif narrated how his kids were almost kidnapped by the suspect and expressed his gratitude to the residents.
