The Herald Newspaper has alleged that National Security operatives are behind the kidnapping of Sylvia Patience Baah, the Airport Services Manager for Emirates Airlines in Accra.

Sylvia was kidnapped on Thursday, November 21, 2024, while on her way from the gym. She was released later that day.

According to the newspaper, Sylvia was kidnapped to teach her a lesson after she had earlier refused to allow two National Security officials and a lady travelling on an Emirates flight from Accra to Dubai to board the plane after they arrived late at the airport.

When the latecomers arrived, the plane had 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 their acrimonious decision to teach her a lesson.

The group had effected their plan on Thursday when they stalked Sylvia from her gym and 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.
