Three clients were on Monday, 13th September, 2014, locked up in the office of Lead 'Global Microfinance' when they went to demand for their money. The company which is located at Kaneshie near the Takoradi station in Accra, is owned and headed by one Cosmos Okyere. Kwabena Owusu, one of the victims, speaking to Kwami Sefa Kayi on PEACE FM, Tuesday, said he invested GHC14,000, hoping the money will yield dividend some months to come. According to him, Cosmos locked three of them, two gentlemen and a lady in his office for insisting that he gives them their money. Kwabena lamented that �the money does not even belong to me; it is for a friend and so even if there is no interest, he should give me my initial deposit�. "We invested in some of their products about three years ago. When it was time for us to go for our money, he started giving us all sorts of excuses. We realized that he didn�t want to give us our money and so I went to his office. He later came to the office and asked me to come back at the end of the month but I refused to go. We sat there up to 8 in the evening� all we realized was that he had gone out and locked the main gate to the office�. "We called PEACE FM and later called the police to inform them that we have been kidnapped�" Click the audio to listen to the rest of the story and how the three were rescued.
