Police on manhunt for two over alleged kidnapping of MoMo fraudster

The Ghana Police Service has announced the arrest of four suspects in the kidnapping of a 30-year-old man, Bismark Amoh, who is believed to be involved in mobile money fraud. The case was reported on September 8th, and a technical team was formed by the Central North Police Commander, DCOP Abraham Acquaye. The team investigated the suspects for three to four days before intercepting a vehicle linked to the group.

However, the suspects had already moved by the time the officers arrived. They were finally apprehended on September 13th and are being interrogated. DCOP Acquaye suspects the victim's husband, a soldier currently abroad, may have been involved in the crime, possibly contributing to the victim's torture. The total number of persons of interest in the case now stands at seven, including the soldier.

A teacher, Mavis Badu, and three others are also under investigation for allegedly kidnapping the victim in an attempt to recover money lost to fraud.
