Girl, 10, found after 8 months kidnap
ten-year old girl who was kidnapped eight months
ago from Agbogbloshie, Accra, has been found
alive.

She was rescued from her kidnapper- Daniel Sosu, a
driver's mate - after a tip-off.

He had kept her in his mother’s room in Mataheko
where several concoctions had been prepared for
her.

The girl (name withheld) was said to have suffered
temporal amnesia and could not make out her
parents on the day she was rescued.

She however appears to have regained her memory
and narrated to Joy News’ Nana Yaa Fynn-Thompson
the circumstances under which she was captured and
the gory predicaments she had to endure in the
hands of her kidnapper, and his mother
accomplice.

According to the girl, Sosu asked her to buy
sachet water for him but kidnapped her on her
return.

She was sent to an unknown destination and kept in
a room for several days where several concoctions
were made for her.

According to her, the mother of the kidnapper put
beads around her waist which made it difficult for
her to sit or walk.

She claimed her kidnapper attempted on some
occasions to insert his fingers into her private
parts and starved her many times.

She was rescued after a tip-off to the police.

Her mother Lardi Fuseini told Fynn-Thompson she
went through emotional torture during the eight
months her daughter was away.

When news about her daughter's discovery came she
was anxious and together with the girl’s father
went to the hide-out to ascertain the veracity of
the rumour.

Her husband broke down in tears, she narrated.

Meanwhile, the 32-year old kidnapper is in police
custody and will soon be arraigned before court.
