Their rescue followed a report filed with the National Central Bureau (NCB) Abuja on April 27, 2025, regarding the kidnap of one Anastasia Arthur a.k.a Baidoo, a 48-year-old Ghanaian national.

Force PRO, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the Nigeria Police Force, through its Intelligence Response Team (IRT), successfully rescued two kidnapped Ghanaian nationals and apprehended a key kidnapping syndicate operating across international borders.

According to him, “Initial investigations revealed that Ms. Baidoo’s abduction stemmed from a sophisticated Facebook love scam. Advanced technical analysis provided a lead to a key location connected to the perpetrators, and operatives were deployed for immediate action. Working in close collaboration with the Ghanaian Police Service, the IRT operatives identified a criminal syndicate with members operating in both Ghana and Nigeria.”

The police further said key breakthroughs in the investigation included the arrest of Emeka Christian, a 27-year-old Nigerian national residing in Bolgatanga, Upper Eastern Ghana, who confessed to receiving GH 10,000 Cedis as ransom money for the victim through his Ghanaian mobile account.

He further admitted to transferring the Naira equivalent to a Nigerian bank account belonging to one Peter Okoye.

“On May 1st, 2025, at approximately 1:22 PM, IRT operatives successfully tracked Okoye, the prime suspect, to Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The suspect was apprehended along with members of his syndicate: Paulinus Chidokwe, 35, and Chinonso Okafor, 35,” the police said.

The two Ghanaian women, Ms. Arthur and Konadu, who were victims of these abductors, were rescued in the process and taken to the hospital for proper treatment having been held under dehumanising circumstances, while the suspects are currently undergoing investigation and upon conclusion, those involved will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
