Following a month-long search for missing Ghanaian women Afiba Abigail Tandoh and her friend Celine Chidinma Ndidum, significant developments have emerged pointing to suspect Andrew Amechi Otchipo, a 52-year-old British Nigerian with deep ties to Nigeria.
Otchipo, a reputedly notorious figure wanted by security agencies, was apprehended by Interpol in Nigeria to aid in investigations related to the disappearance of the two women.
Close Circuit Camera (CCTV) footage from the hotel where the trio last met revealed crucial evidence linking Otchipo to the missing women, including personal belongings such as handbags and ATM cards found in his residence.
Despite this breakthrough, authorities face challenges extracting information from Otchipo regarding the whereabouts of Afiba and Celine.
The Ghanaian government, deeply concerned about the welfare of its citizens, has instructed its consulate in Nigeria to intensify efforts to locate the missing individuals.
Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on the Nigerian Police Force to expedite the search for Afiba and Celine, whose sudden disappearance has raised alarms in both countries.
