The men had absconded by the time the police reached their hideout.
The teenage girls claimed they were kidnapped on their way home from school on Friday, February 5, 2021.
The victims, after close of school, reportedly boarded a taxi to transport themselves to Breman UGC where they live with their parents.
Upon reaching Suame in the evening, the taxi driver diverted from the main route and took the girls to Suame Magazine, an area they are not familiar with.
One of the girls who managed to call her brother with the phone of one of the suspects who had dropped it in the room where they were keeping their victims said:
“We are 10 people in the room. The boys and their bodyguards are sleeping with us. One of the girls who earlier called her father with her own phone has been stabbed with a knife."
The father of one of the victims who was with the Suame Police search team collapsed over the matter.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command was informed about the development and awaited clearance for extra men to be deployed to rescue the girls.
