Yaw Gyapong, a 14-year-old JSS boy who was kidnapped six weeks ago has been found.
The lad got missing after attending to nature's call at Akyem Oda Old Town Zongo. He was found last Tuesday June 19 and has been reunited with his mother, Esi Oforiwaa at Akyem Oda.
Throwing more light on the circumstances leading to his kidnap, Gyapong told the GNA that on that fateful day at about 0830 hours while going to the toilet, a man who was standing by a private car invited him.
He said he responded to the invitation and the strange man sent him to buy a stick of cigarette to which he obliged.
According to Gyapong, after giving the cigarette to the man, suddenly everything went blank and did not know what happened but all that he saw later was that he was in a big room with four other boys.
"We were being fed with rice water for breakfast, rice and stew for lunch and kenkey for supper through an opening under the door for all the days that I was in captivity", he said.
He said a few days later, another boy was brought in to join them in the room.
Gyapong said about a month and four days later, a man suddenly appeared in the room and after looking at him for sometime called him and remarked that he was an obedient boy.
He said afterwards he discovered that he was out of the room with the unidentified man who later abandoned him.
Gyapong said he later went to join some other boys and told them that he was from Akyem Oda but could not trace his way back home.
He said he was staying with the group until two days later when his mother came to locate him at Kaneshie in Accra and brought him back to Akyem Oda.
Miss Esi Oforiwaa beaming with smiles told the GNA that she was grateful to God for making it possible for her to reunite with her son.
