Kidnapped man begs family for help as captors threaten death over GH¢45,000 ransom
The victim was abducted on Sunday, September 6, 2026, and had spent more than 48 hours in captivity, and his captors repeatedly threatened to kill him unless his family paid a ransom.
In Assin Fosu, Central Region, the family of 30-year-old Bismark Amoh is desperately trying to save their relative from brutal captors. The victim was abducted on September 6, 2026, and held captive for over two days, enduring severe physical abuse. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of GH¢45,000, giving the family a 24-hour ultimatum.
However, the situation worsened when the kidnappers sent a recording to the victim's relatives via WhatsApp. In the audio and video, Bismark pleaded for his life and begged his family to pay the ransom immediately. The footage showed the victim stripped naked and restrained, forced to lie in water while being beaten with ropes. The kidnappers used Amoh's phone to communicate with his family, attempting to hide their identities and avoid detection.
The family managed to gather GH¢19,500, but a subsequent demand of GH¢30,500 increased the total amount to GH¢50,000. The victim's captors accused him of defrauding them, further escalating the threat against his life.
