Nigerian suspects behind kidnapping of Indian businessman

DGN Online has gathered that the Nigerians arrested in connection with the kidnappings of the two Canadian women are believed to be behind the kidnapping of the Indian businessman in Kumasi a few weeks ago.

DGN Online is also informed that the ringleader of the Nigerians involved in the kidnapping, Aghaor Sampson, has since been arrested.

In April 2019, police sources revealed that three unidentified men onboard an unregistered Toyota Salon vehicle at gunpoint forced the victim who was driving a black, Mazda CX-7 with registration number AS 5442-17, into their vehicle at Ahodwo Kumasi and sped off.

They had reportedly called his relation, Tamil Kumar, who is a businessman, demanding a $500,000 ransom for his release warning him not to involve the police and sent images of a gun pointed at him with his hands tied to his back.

DGN Online security sources have also indicated that the Nigerians equally demanded ransom for the Canadian women.

In all, four out of 14 suspected kidnappers of the two Canadian Women are believed to be Nigerians.

The Canadian women have been rescued by an all Ghanaian security operative, DGN Online is informed.

Initial reports were that Canadian security experts had been brought into the country to help with the rescue operation but DGN Online sources say there was no Canadian security officials involvement in the rescue operation.

According to information gathered by DGN Online, there was exchange of gunfire between the kidnappers and the Ghanaian security operatives.

Earlier, Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, announced the rescue in a statement issued on Wednesday, June 12, 2019.

Two Nigerians have already been linked to the kidnappings of the three Takoradi girls who are still in captivity.

One of the two kidnappers of the Takoradi girls have since been jailed for jailbreak.
