They were rescued on Wednesday morning by the National Security operatives, after the Canadian authority collaborated with the local police.

It added that the statement emphasised that Ghana remains a safe place to travel to, urging the media to be circumspect in their commentaries on the matter and other security issues.
“Government continues to encourage the media and commentators to be circumspect in public commentary on security matters in order not to compromise other related operations. Citizens and travellers are once again assured that Ghana remains safe,” it added.
