A 32-year old man is on life support at the St Patrick Hospital in Offinso after he was caught and beaten for allegedly kidnapping two kids in Afigya Kwabre North district of the Ashanti Region.
The suspect identifies as Alhassan, who is said to be a Fulani native was caught on July 31, 2021, holding two kids under the pretense of being a neighbour.
Further investigations show that the suspect does not live in the area but was rather sneaking the kids out of the town.
The residents of Ahenkro, sensing inconsistencies in the suspect’s account descended on him with heavy beatings and later handed him to the police in Afiagya Kwabre North and he was later referred to the St Patrick Hospital in Offinso.
The Boaman District Police Commander, ASP Edward Odame, speaking on Akoma FM today said that, “the suspect was brought in by some residents of Ahenkro but we had to refer him to the hospital for immediate medical attention so he is currently receiving treatment at the St Patrick Hospital”.
He continued, “afterwards, we will arraign him before court for necessary action to be taken.”
The father of the two toddlers speaking said he also recounted that his wife told him a young man had attempted to whisk his two kids away so he quickly rushed to the police station and saw the suspect in custody but he thanks God that the suspect was unsuccessful in his operations.
