In a recent and alarming turn of events, the Ghana Police Service has apprehended six individuals, including four juveniles who are all students of Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC). The case revolves around a staged kidnapping incident that has sent shockwaves through the educational community and raised serious concerns about security and ethics.
The Incident
On April 5, 2024, the police acted swiftly, uncovering a meticulously planned ruse. The suspects, both adults and students, had orchestrated a fake kidnapping of a PRESEC student. Their audacity was matched only by their cunning. Here are the key details:
- The Ransom Demand: The perpetrators demanded a staggering GHS340,000 as ransom from the parents of the allegedly kidnapped student. This exorbitant sum was meant to secure the safe return of their child.
- Successful Extortion: Shockingly, the criminals managed to collect GHS20,000 from the desperate parents. This amount was a fraction of the original demand but still a significant sum.
- The Players: Among the arrested individuals, two adults stand out:
- Isaac Kissi Adjei (alias Kofi Black): One of the masterminds behind the plot.
- Courage Teiko (alias Timmy): The other adult involved in this elaborate scheme.
- The Juveniles: The remaining four suspects are all students of Legon PRESEC. Their identities have been withheld, as per best practices, to protect their privacy. Their parents and guardians have been duly informed.
