Five Ghanaians have allegedly been kidnapped in Nigeria in connection with a Ghanaian nurse who promised them job opportunities abroad.

This was revealed in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by a user who shared a video related to the incident.

The video, spoken in a Ghanaian language, made it difficult for a larger audience to understand. However, the post included a description that provided context.

According to the details, a Ghanaian nurse reportedly lured four others to Nigeria under the pretense of securing job opportunities.

The victims were allegedly instructed to travel to Nigeria for biometric registration, but during the journey, they were kidnapped by unknown assailants.

The video’s description stated: “Five Ghanaians were kidnapped in Nigeria through a connection with a Ghanaian nurse who promised them jobs abroad.”

“They were allegedly told to complete their biometrics in Nigeria, where they were abducted. This nurse has been on a wanted list for the past two weeks and will face legal action if caught.”

As the post gained traction online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to share their reactions.
