One of the Canadian girls kidnapped
Canadian officials said they were in contact with the families of the two young women abducted in Kumasi, in the Ashanti region.
The Canadian news cable Global Affairs confirmed the information on the kidnappings.
While this does not confirm the details citing security concerns, he said Canadian officials were working with the Ashanti area police following the incident.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is adamant that his government will not facilitate payments to these groups while his predecessor, Stephen Harper, has publicly denied the payment of ransoms.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command confirmed the abduction of two Canadians aged 19 and 20 in Ahodwo (Kumasi), volunteers of the NGO Youth Challenge International.
The attackers reportedly stopped and allegedly pushed the two men into a car under the threat of a gun around 8:30 pm. on Silver Spring Avenue, in the vicinity of the city of Vienna, a popular pub in Kumasi.
One of the victims, named Lauren, is in the country with her compatriot as part of a program of exchange with the Department of Entrepreneurship of the Technical University of Kumasi (KsTU).
An Uber driver is in the hands of the police who participate in the investigations.
