When the latecomers arrived, the plane had reportedly already shut its doors and was preparing for takeoff when the National Security operatives demanded they be allowed to board.

Sylvia had reportedly refused, leading to the alleged desire to teach her a lesson.

The group had allegedly effected their plan on Thursday when they stalked Sylvia from her gym and reportedly kidnapped her in front of her house that Thursday morning.

In the afternoon, after news of her kidnapping had gone viral on X and other social media platforms, her kidnappers had allegedly bundled her up and dumped her by the side of a road at Ashaiman.

She subsequently freed herself from her bondage and sought help from a Marwako fast food joint, where she called her husband to come and rescue her.

Herald Newspaper said the Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, has assured the family of Sylvia that her kidnapping would be thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators brought to book.
