A 17-year-old student from the Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC), Legon, has allegedly been kidnapped, OnuaOnline is learning.
Reports indicate the young boy was returning from school to Obuasi, where he resides, on March 28, 2024, when he was abducted.
He was going home to spend the vacation.
Disturbing photos sent to the family show the student has been harmed.
Although the matter, according to a Modern Ghana publication, has been reported by the parents of the victim to the police CID headquarters and PRESEC officials, little progress has been made.
The report further says authorities of the school have shown little interest in the case, saying that the incident occurred outside the campus and as such, not much can be done from their end.
The kidnappers who initially demanded a staggering 34 million naira (approximately GHC340,000) ransom from the family have threatened to sell the body parts of the kidnapped PRESEC boy should the family refuse to send the money.
With threats of harvesting their son’s organs, if
they didn’t comply, the desperate family negotiated the ransom down to GHC20,000 as the amount they could offer.
Even though the GHC20,000 has been transferred to the kidnappers through mobile money, they are demanding an extra GHC300,000 before they will release the boy.
Today marks the 6th day since the boy was kidnapped.
The family has pleaded with the government and the police to help rescue their son.
