The police have found the PRESEC student who was reportedly kidnapped by some unknown individuals.

According to sources familiar with the development, the Police are now on the heels of the suspects who were holding the male student.

The family of the boy has confirmed the development.

Background 

A 17-year-old student from the prestigious Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC), Legon was kidnapped and held for ransom by unknown assailants.

The student, whose name has been withheld, was abducted on 28th March 2024 while on his way from campus to home during the Easter school break.

Disturbing photos sent to the family indicated the student had been harmed.

The kidnappers who initially demanded a staggering 34 million naira (approximately GHc 340,000) ransom from the family 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 20,000 cedis - all they could afford.

They sent the money via mobile money, but the kidnappers refused to release the boy unless an extra 300,000 cedis was paid in full.
