Police charge man who allegedly kidnapped Anas' Tiger Eye PI team member

Police have charged a man with kidnapping and assault for allegedly abducting a member of Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Tiger Eye PI.

ASP Ebenezer Tetteh, Spokesperson for the Police in the Northern Region, told Joy News Adamu Asuma will be put before court Monday while they continue search for other accomplices.

A member of Tiger Eye PI team, Ishmael Hussein, was rescued Saturday by police after being held hostage by Adamu Asuma and four other men.

Police believe the kidnapping is linked to one of the judges implicated in the recent judicial scandal.

Tiger Eye PI’s recent exposé shows some judges allegedly taking bribe to compromise cases.

According to Ishmael Hussein five men abducted and confined him to a small room in Tamale -- at a location called ‘Filling Point’ in Wurishe, close to the Tamale Polytechnic.

“One of my kidnappers was arrested and the others run away when they saw the police. They were five in number but there are also names of their cohorts and I am sure the police will get to the bottom of the matter” Husseun told Joy News' Kuuku Abban.

According to him, the incident happened around 9:40am Saturday when the group of five accosted him while he was leaving his brother’s house and confined him for about 40 minutes.

Ishmael Hussein says he has been traumatised by the incident.

He was however unsure about the safety of his family saying, “I’m yet to speak with them but I will speak with the Police about that.
