Ghanaian court have sentenced two Nigerians to death on Friday 5th, March 2021 for kidnapping and murder.
One of the kidnappers, Samuel Udoetuk Wills, who falsely claimed he was a Fulani man with “Buba Mohammed” as his name and his gang member, John Orji kidnapped and murdered four girls in Takoradi, Ghana.
They were sentenced after they were found guilty of kidnapping and killing Ruth Quayson, Priscilla Blessing Bentum, Priscilla Koranchie and Ruth Abekah, aged 18 yrs.
The report says Samuel Udoetuk Wills and John Orji kidnapped the girls in Accra, Ghana and demanded millions of Ghana Cedis as ransom.
While negotiation was on going, Samuel Udoetuk Wills told their loved ones his name was Buba Muhammad, a “Fulani herdsman” from Nigeria. This prompted them to post his name and the girls’ pictures on social media as a desperate move while the Ghanaian Police went after him.
Unfortunately, before they were arrested, they killed the 4 girls as it was obvious the ransom wasn’t going to be paid.
When Samuel Udoetuk Wills was taken into custody, they discovered his passport carried a different name, he couldn’t speak Fulani or Hausa
