The Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), DCOP Lydia Donkor, has disclosed that the two Ghanaian women: Evelyn Serwaa Konadu and Anastasia Baidoo, who were kidnapped, were lured through romance scams orchestrated by the suspects.
Providing an update on the ongoing investigation into the case at a press briefing on May 6, 2025, DCOP Lydia Donkor stated that the victims, unsuspecting of the suspects' modus operandi, were lured into Nigeria through Facebook accounts.
The suspects, involved in romance scams operating in both Ghana and Nigeria, deceived the victims into believing they were in romantic relationships.
They pretended to be White men who expressed a desire to marry the victims, further manipulating them into traveling to Nigeria.
