Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping of a 15-year-old boy in Kabulya, Nanumba South District.

According to sources, three men were spotted at a drinking bar in Bimbila on 26 May 2026 at midnight when police moved in. One was arrested while two others escaped.

A second suspect was detained on Thursday morning after police acted on intelligence.

Two family members are said to have been attacked during the abduction of Issah Ali, the 15-year-old, and have been given police medical forms to seek treatment.

The kidnappers reportedly used the boy’s phone to contact his family and demanded Gh¢100,000 for his release.

Meanwhile, the young boy's location is still unknown.
