Joséphine Panyin Mensah, missing from Takoradi, becomes suspicious as Ghanaian police arrest three people for false pregnancy drama in kidnapping lair

The Ghana Police Service said a suspected pregnant woman at the center of a suspected kidnapping story has become a suspect.

Police in the press release said Josephine Panyin Mensah allegedly conspired to fake an abduction and pregnancy.

“Investigations suggest that the suspect is conspiring with others over his planned disappearance,” ACP Kwesi Ofori said for an inside statement.

Police said inquiries show the young woman’s hospital said she had not obtained a medical record of her pregnancy.

“During the investigation, she mentioned Takoradi European Hospital as a hospital for the evaluation of the prenatal examination den.”

“The facility’s medical records suggest the woman went to hospital without pregnancy somewhere in October last year,” the statement added.

Ghana police officials say a worrying issue is the growing number of false kidnappings that are being recorded for the western region.

They explain that people create a “self-abduction” to earn money with ransoms.

Earlier, Ghanaians were in a state of confusion over the details surrounding the disappearance of a woman last week on Thursday with a nine-month pregnancy, only to reappear without a pregnancy this week.

The confusion stems from the regional minister’s claims that doctors say there is no evidence to show the woman is pregnant.

Meanwhile, her husband insists that his wife be pregnant at the time of his disappearance.
