The last few weeks have been a hell for parents across the country, especially the three Takoradi families, who prayed and hoped against any hope that their kidnapped daughters would be found.
The twin cities, Sekondi-Takoradi, make headlines for all the wrong reasons, but kidnappings have taken place across the country, though some have been failed attempts.
The police received their fair share of criticism of what many have described as a lethargic approach to finding those behind those who are behind the abominable task of separating families.
Fraizer Aryee, a man who had previously been arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned for kidnapping, may have helped the police penetrate the kidnappers' minds, but he told his story about Ghana Connect on Joy FM on Friday.
Frustrated in Spain in the 1970s, he arrived in Ghana, eager to do many things and desperately looking for money to return to Europe with his friends.
"… When I met my friends, I told them the easiest way to make money [to travel] is to kidnap the son or daughter of a rich man. I walked in and took a boy away. I took him to my ex-wife and called her father.
"I told him to bring the money before releasing the boy, but I should not inform the police. We agreed that he drops the money at Labadi cemetery.
"I was watching him until he dropped the money and I let the boy go. I took the money and went through the lagoon to go to the military barracks and then to Osu, "he told Evans Mensah on Friday.
Chance was missed when the kidnapped boy noticed one of his friends later.
For his part, Chukwu Emeka Eze, Executive Director of the West African Peacebuilding Network (WANEP), said the longer the kidnappings, the more difficult, complex and complex they become.
He praised the police who said they were doing their best, they did not have the logistics to work.
"We are starting to realize that in most cases it's not the police's effectiveness but the tools with which it works," he said.
He wants the state to install surveillance cameras to make life easier for citizens and police in the face of crime.
