According to Graphic Online, a man known as Schmidt Yamoah has been sentenced to eight years in prison with hard labour after pulling off a very poor criminal move.
Yamoah, who is unemployed, stayed in the same town as the boy and his father, Anaji in the Western Region. A while back, he concocted an elaborate kidnapping scheme, where he called the boy’s teacher impersonating his father, and told her he would send someone to come for the kid.
After taking custody of the child, the suspect is said to have locked him up in a hotel room, called the boy’s father and placed a ransom of Ghc25,000. They later agreed on Ghc3,000 which the boy’s father paid and secured his son’s release.
His unravelling though, was when the boy’s father installed True caller – an app that can tell you who’s calling based on their online footprint- and then got Yamoah’s entire details which he furnished to police.
He was arrested, arraigned before court, and then given his sentence after pleading guilty.
