The Bono Regional Police Command has launched an investigation into the kidnapping of 30-year-old Millicent Fosua in Kyeremasu, Dormaa East Municipality.
According to Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, Public Relations Officer for the Bono Regional Police, Fosua was rescued in Berekum through an intelligence-led undercover operation conducted by the Regional Police Intelligence Directorate (PID). She was found in good health and has been reunited with her family.
The complainant, Samuel Amartey Laryea, reported that he and his wife had traveled to Kyeremasu for a funeral on October 29, 2025. On November 3, he received a call from an unknown individual claiming that his wife had been kidnapped and demanding GH₵12,000 for her release. Out of fear, he sent GH₵2,000, but Fosua was not released, prompting him to report the incident to the police.
Fosua recounted that she was abducted by men in a black Toyota Corolla while on her way to visit her husband early on November 3. She was blindfolded, assaulted, and threatened by her captors, who also seized her mobile phone and forced her to provide her husband’s contact number and mobile money PIN.
Police confirmed that efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend the suspects to support further investigations.
