An 11-year-old boy who went missing after being lured into a stranger’s car has been rescued and is now in the care of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Tafo Police Division in Ashanti region.
The case was later brought to Nhyira FM’s Obra Show to help trace his family and fulfill the boy’s wish to be reunited with his grandmother.
The boy said he was sent on an errand by his grandmother on June 3, 2025. On his way, a man approached him and asked him to deliver an item to someone in a nearby car.
After the delivery, the driver offered to take him home; but instead drove him to an unknown location, which the boy later identified as Ahwiaa.
Realizing he had been misled and was far from home, he began walking to find his way back. He eventually arrived at Moshie Zongo, where two Good Samaritans, Mr. Razack Musah and Mr. Sulemena Musah, found him and took him to the police.
He was handed over to DOVVSU and taken under the care of Social Welfare officers Mavis Appiah Kubi and Prospera Oforiwaa Dapaah.
In an interview with Nhyira FM, Mavis Appiah Kubi said “the boy is so innocent that the money given to him by his grandmother was still in his pocket, even though he had gone hungry for days.”
The case featured on Nhyira FM’s Obra Show as part of efforts to locate the boy’s family and safely return him to his grandmother.
The police are also investigating to identify the man who took the boy away.
