An uber driver has been arrested by the police, in connection with the alleged kidnapping of two female Canadians, at Ahodwo, Kumasi Royal Gulf Club last Tuesday .
The man, whose name is being withheld, is believed to be the driver, who transported the Canadians from their residence.
The Canadians, Bailen Chitty, 19. and Lauren Patricia Catherine, 20, are in Ghana for an exchange programme with the Entrepreneurship Department of the Kumasi Technical University.
The two were bundled into a vehicle at about 8:20pm just when they had stepped out of their apartment at Silver Spring in Kumasi.
Chitty and Catherine are said to be with a group of four, three women and a man when the incident occurred, and efforts to get in touch with the Entrepreneurialship Department of the KsTU have also not been fruitful.
Meanwhile the Government of Canada’s travel information guide has warned Canadian citizens about travelling to Ghana.
In a tweet, the government warns Canadians that violent crimes, such as robbery and kidnapping, may occur while they are in Ghana and advises them to be aware of their surroundings and avoid walking alone or displaying signs of wealth.
