Two young women working for the Toronto-based Youth Challenge International, 585 Dundas St. E., have been kidnapped from a golf course in the inland Ghanaian City of Kumasi. The Canadian government acknowledges the matter but says only it is working with the families. This appeared in Ghana Today:
Kidnappers within the Kumasi Metropolis in the Ashanti, have escaped with two Canadian women who are on an exchange programme in the country.
News circulation in the social media indicated one of the two Canadians name has been identified as Lauren, were forced into a vehicle at about 8:20pm just when they stepped out of their apartment at Silver Spring Avenue in Kumasi Metropolis.
The issue has raised tension in the Kumasi Metropolis, especially among foreigners as this appeared to be a new trend of business by kidnappers.
