An incident that has residents of Kofiko in the Jaman South Municipality, Bono region, bewildered concerns a young girl was discovered with her hands and legs bound, left abandoned in a bush on Wednesday, December 20, 2023.
According to Nana Kwame, a reporter for Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5 FM, who broke the story, the girl who was found lying on a plywood, regained consciousness and narrated her ordeal to the police.
The shocking discovery was made possible by the timely intervention of a passer-by, who promptly alerted the local Assembly member.
The victim was swiftly taken to the hospital for urgent medical attention, where she later regained consciousness. During questioning, she recounted her harrowing experience, revealing that she had ventured to the farm with her sister on Saturday, December 16, 2023.
While at the farm, she suggested harvesting tomatoes and garden eggs, but her tired sister declined. Determined, she proceeded alone. However, on her way, she claimed to encounter three young men seeking directions to a town.
Before she could respond, the men allegedly covered her nose with a substance, and she only regained consciousness at Saint Mary’s Hospital.
Nana Kwame noted that the young girl is presently responding well to treatment. Rumours circulating suggest that those responsible for her abduction may be involved in money rituals, abandoning her when their sinister plans could not be executed.
