Assin Fosu family races to save abducted 30-year-old after ransom demand rises to GH¢49,500
A family in Assin Fosu, located in Ghana’s Central Region, is locked in a terrifying race against time to save 30-year-old Bismark Amoh, who remains in the hands of brutal captors after being abducted on Sunday, September 6, 2026.
In Assin Fosu, Ghana's Central Region, a family faces an urgent battle to rescue their 30-year-old relative, Bismark Amoh, who was abducted on September 6, 2026. The captors, known for their brutal treatment, initially demanded GH¢45,000 in ransom. However, to put pressure on the family, they escalated the demand to GH¢49,500 with an eight-hour deadline.
The abductors have been sending disturbing WhatsApp messages to the family, showcasing Bismark bound, beaten, and forced to suffer in water. Despite raising GH¢19,500, the captors have not released Bismark and have demanded an additional GH¢30,500. An unexpected twist emerged when investigators found a recording implicating the captors in a financial fraud scheme.
Law enforcement is now investigating the case, collaborating with the National CID and the Police Headquarters Cybercrime Unit to trace and apprehend the perpetrators. The family, along with the community, remains vigilant and urges anyone with information to come forward to the nearest police station.
