NGThe Ogun State Police Command in Nigeria has rescued 11 Ghanaian nationals who were allegedly kidnapped and held against their will after being lured to Nigeria with false promises of Canadian and Spanish visas. The victims, who paid approximately GH₵40,000 each, were rescued on October 19 following intelligence gathered by the police. Preliminary investigations suggest the victims were deceived by a fellow Ghanaian who facilitated their travel under false pretenses. The police are continuing to investigate the case to identify and arrest those involved in the alleged criminal network. Authorities have warned the public to be cautious of individuals offering overseas travel and visa-processing services and to verify the legitimacy of such offers before making payments.
