A young woman has recounted a traumatic experience in which she was nearly kidnapped by an unidentified man at Lapaz in Accra.
According to the lady, the incident occurred between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. when she stepped out wearing a Ghana national team jersey.
She disclosed that a man approached her and asked where he could purchase a similar jersey.
Moments after the brief conversation, the suspect allegedly attempted to wipe her face with a handkerchief, revealing that she became upset and resisted his actions.
Shortly afterwards, she began feeling dizzy, while the man allegedly insisted that she accompany him to his nearby vehicle to “relax.”
She further disclosed that a woman nearby intervened preventing the suspect from taking her away.
Speaking in a viral video shared on X, the young girl narrated, “I told him that the jersey was widely available and that there was no need to ask where I got it.
“He was holding a handkerchief and suddenly tried to wipe my face with it. I became angry and questioned him, but he insisted that there was something on my face”, she recounted.
“I didn’t see the young man again; suddenly, a woman in a black car then approached me and warned me to be careful of kidnappers. She suggested that I sit in her car and rest for a while, and began leading me towards it. Because I was feeling dizzy, I followed her.
“At that moment, a woman who sells slippers on the pavement intervened. She told the woman to leave me alone and asked whether I knew her or knew where she was taking me. I said that I did not,” she narrated.

“A guy told me he would kidnap me, and I didn’t take it as a joke. It was around 7:30, and I was going to get pre-paid. I was with one little girl, and then I met this guy. He was like can I have your number? I said no! I don’t want to give you my number”.
“He was insisting, and this guy was following me. I was like, ” Can you please go your way? I don’t want you to follow me, and it’s late,” she stated.
She added, “When I got to where I was to branch, this guy went like, ‘You don’t want to give me your number. I know where you stay. I’ll kidnap you, and I’ll keep you in my room. I will sexually assault you and make you pregnant”.
“He just said it bluntly and boldly, and I was like, what did you say? He goes like, ‘Yes, you heard me right. I said I will kidnap you, keep you in my room, and I’ll make you pregnant.’
“This should let you know where this person is from. He’s from another country [a foreigner]. People heard what he said, but he was not scared. He was repeating his remarks,” she added.
The lady further narrated, “I was like, you think this is your country? I will report you to the police, but he was laughing. He thought it was funny. So, thank God, the guys around heard him. They asked me what the guy said to me so, so I told them… That’s how we dragged this guy to the police station”.
“Unfortunately for him, it was a Friday evening. They kept him there [in cells] till Sunday,” she said.
“On Monday morning, they [police] asked him to call his people. He didn’t even have anybody. Some young guys came there, and then we were able to bail him”.
“They gave him a whole lot of forms to fill, and a restraining order. So, please, if someone threatens you with anything at all, don’t be afraid. The Ghana Police is your friend. Report that person to the police, and they will do what is needful,” she further advised.
