Police in the Ashanti Region have mounted a search for persons believed to be behind the alleged kidnapping of two female students of the St. Louis Junior High School (JHS) in Kumasi.

On their way, the taxi driver diverted from the main route and took the students to an obscure area around Suame Magazine.

One of the victims is said to have called her brother with a phone which was mistakenly left behind by one of the suspects.

She revealed that they were being raped by the men holding them in captive.  

The victim also mentioned that about 10 other people had been kidnapped.

Meanwhile, the Ashanti regional police command has deployed more men to rescue the girls and other victims.
