Maabena, a sister to the late Asuom-based driver Francis Owusu, popularly known as Yaw Owusu, has expressed regret over a comment she made during a ransom call, which she believes may have led to her brother’s death.

Francis Owusu was allegedly murdered by kidnappers in the Kwaebibirem Municipal District of the Eastern Region after his family was unable to meet a ransom demand.

Speaking in an interview on Asuom News, which was shared on social media, Maabena recounted the chilling events that unfolded.

“My name is Maabena. Yaw Owusu is my junior brother. On Saturday morning, a woman called me, asking if I was the mother of Francis Owusu. I told her that I was the one, “she said.

“She then told me that she lived with Yaw Owusu, and he had told her he was going to work, but he hadn’t returned home and couldn’t be reached.”

Maabena said she immediately informed other family members, and they all began trying to contact Yaw Owusu.

“We kept calling his phone. After several attempts, someone finally picked up. I told the person we were looking for our brother, and he responded that my brother had been brought to them to be killed. They were demanding GH¢60,000 within two hours or they would murder him,” she recounted.

She continued, “I thought it was one of those scam calls, so I said, even if we sell our family house, we can’t raise that kind of money, so you can kill him. He then said, if that is what I have said, they have heard then he ended the call.”

Maabena revealed that the next day, her sister asked for a photo of Yaw Owusu.

“I sent the picture to her, and she started crying. When I asked what was wrong, she said they had found Yaw Owusu’s lifeless body.”

The family is now pleading with the authorities to investigate the matter.

“We are asking the government to investigate this matter for us.”
