Ghana Police Service conducted an intelligence-led operation and investigation resulting in the arrest of six individuals, four of whom are juveniles and students of Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC) in Legon, Accra, for orchestrating a staged kidnapping incident.

Among the six arrested, two are adults identified as Isaac Kissi Adjei, also known as Kofi Black, and Courage Teiko, alias Timmy.

Preliminary investigations indicate that one of the juveniles conspired with the others to stage the kidnapping in an attempt to extort money from his parents for a supposed trip abroad.

During the incident, the group demanded a ransom of Three Hundred and Forty Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH₵340,000.00) from the victim's parents.

Subsequently, they managed to collect Twenty Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH₵20,000.00) of the total ransom.

While the identities of the juveniles have been withheld in accordance with best practices, their parents and guardians have been informed, and police investigations into the matter are ongoing.
