Current review limits: Retain Ghana-Nigeria two-women reported family across three preserved membership decisions. Named ages/routes/rescue/repatriation and explicitly recorded name variations are specific contextual bridges; source allegations remain qualified, original police file uninspected. May1 rescue differs own May9 Accra arrival, practical return differs cash refund. Requested ransom not paid, imagery not sexual-violence proof, nine arrests not nine victim cases. Two Ghanaian brothers targeting Americans remain a negative unrelated context; no additional direct link invented.
