Reactions to rescue of Ghanaian kidnapping victims

Social media users who took to the comments section of the post expressed delight over the news that the two women had been freed.

Charles Odame commented:

“Kudos to the Ghana Police Service. Every Ghanaian citizen should be careful about Nigerians. Those people do not have human conscience; they behave as if they’re the only ones who need money and will do anything for it. Our girls should be careful and vigilant.”

Ikemefuna Samuel opined:

“Kudos to the Ghana Police Service and the Nigerian Police Force. This is how sibling nations work together. I knew the Nigerian police, alongside our neighbours, would look into this issue. I'm glad the victims have now been rescued and are free from their captors. Now the criminals must face the law.”

WA Ris added:

“Ghana Police and Nigeria Police, well done! Can you leave them with the area boys for just one hour and come back for them? We just want to advise them, that’s all.”
