Kidnapped women in romance scam reunited with family
Named AnastasiaBaidoo/EvelynSerwaaKonadu, two Ghanaian women romantic lure to Nigeria, rescue and repatriation contexts support the qualified family previously identified in actual Graphic body. Sparse variants retain their own facts only. Own return report gives May9,2025 Accra arrival; earlier Graphic reports May1 rescue/nine arrests/500000GHS ransom requested. Repatriation is practical assistance, not cash returned; half-naked imagery does not establish sexual violence, original police file not independently verified.
