Abducted YFM Presenter found in hospital

A presenter of Takoradi-based YFM, who was abducted and suspected to have been sexually assaulted by unknown individuals, has been found by the police at a hospital in Takoradi.

She had been missing for about five days and was currently on admission at the hospital, Ms Naomi Nelson, the Head of Corporate Communications at Global Media Alliance – owners of YFM - told Accra-based Citi FM Tuesday.

YFM on Monday put out a notice that Ms Ada, also known as Adaeze Onyinyechie Ayoka had gone missing and wanted the public to help locate her,

Ms Nelson said the station had been working with the police to locate Ada.

She expressed shock at the development, saying: “This is absolutely ridiculous. I am in a state of shock because the images are really disturbing.”

Abductors of Ada reportedly sexually assaulted her and took pictures of the act, which they posted on Facebook. Some of the pictures have also been circulating on Whatsapp.

YFM had released a statement Monday announcing the abduction of Ada.

The station said it had not been contacted by the abductors and called on people with information that could help the police in the search for Ada to come forward.
