A 30-year-old man named Bismarck Amo was rescued from captivity and four suspects were arrested following a police operation that allegedly involved torture and extortion, according to officials. The suspects, who are accused of demanding money from Amo's family, reportedly tortured him and threatened to kill him if the ransom was not paid.
The four arrested individuals are a teacher and an electrician from Kumasi, as well as a third suspect whose age was not revealed. The operation, dubbed "Operation Rescue the Victim and Arrest the Perpetrators," was led by the Inspector-General of Police. The incident reportedly began when Amo allegedly defrauded one of the suspects of an unspecified amount of money, which led to his abduction and detention.
Despite his family paying a ransom, Amo was subjected to severe torture and violence before being rescued.
