The Ho Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Prosper Kofi Pi-Bansah, said it is clearly a case of ritual operation which went well for the victim and bad for the kidnappers.
Narrating the incident, the victim said he was captured by men when he stepped out their gated house to urinate, and blindfolded and put in a sack with his hands tied.
According to him, while in the sack, he heard a voice rejecting him as an offer because of his gender.
Contrary to the boy's account that he stepped out of the house to urinate, his father, Selorm Awadi, said his son had been sent on an errand at about 9am last Friday but he failed to return home.
The victim's father said the whereabouts of his son could not be ascertained until word went round that a boy had been abandoned in a sack around the popular Mirage Pub area in Ho.
The MCE appealed to parents and guardians to be vigilant over their children especially teenagers.
