UPDATE: Rape, abduction of YFM Presenter was staged in Accra – Police

Police have revealed that the alleged abduction and rape of YFM presenter, Ms Ada, was staged in Accra.

The Police held a press conference on Thursday in Accra to address the alleged sexual assault against YFM presenter, Adaeze Onyinyechie Ayoka, popularly known as Ms Ada.

Ms Ada was allegedly abducted by a gang and sexually assaulted, but it was later revealed by the Police that the ‘victim’ cooked up the story to get the attention of her boyfriend who had broken up with her.

Even though the Police suspect she is not mentally stable and needs to be examined, their investigations so far show that Ms Ada got the help of some men to stage the said sexual assault.

Police began investigations into the alleged abduction on Monday, April 13, after news broke that the popular Takoradi radio presenter had been abducted and had gone missing for days.

Speaking at the press conference, Accra Regional Police Command ASP Efia Tenge, said an 18-year-old, Nelson Williams, one of the suspects in Police custody, has confessed that the act was staged.
According to the suspect, there was no sexual contact relating to the incident, confirming medical reports from the Takoradi hospital on Wednesday.

ASP Tenge also said the suspect and the other four are friends with Ms Ada and that the pictures released on social media were acted in consent with the victim.

Asked why they staged the abduction and rape, the suspect said that Ms Ada was in a relationship but was jilted by her boyfriend. She then approached them to do the film so she could say it is the ex-boyfriend’s new girl who orchestrated the rape and assault.

Meanwhile, ASP Tenge says the Police are having different versions of Ms Ada’s identity, but they can confirm that her parents are Ghanaians and are cooperating with the Police. ASP Tenge further explained that Ms Ada was adopted by a Nigerian couple, hence her Nigerian name.

Ms. Ada is currently in Accra under strict supervision by medical experts as she recuperates from her trauma and depression. Doctors in Takoradi had earlier suggested that the lady was suffering from bipolar disorder. Police say “unless she gains her mental stability, we can’t talk to her”, adding that her collaboration and maximum cooperation is needed.

The Police, meanwhile, have assured that anyone involved in the case will be called for questioning.
