The form two student of Martyrs of Uganda Preparatory School in Kumasi said the main force behind the book is to inform many people that the abduction issue still exists, hence the need for awareness.

She hopes to get her books to more homes to alert young kids about what to do if they find themselves in a situation like her younger sister did five years ago.

“I know that I have done my part by letting people know that kidnapping is real, but I require right now for the book to reach the homes of every child so that they could also read it and know that kidnapping is real, so they can be alert,” she said with a smile.
