Victoria Hammah’s driver kidnapped?

The driver of the former Deputy Communications Minister, Ms Victoria Hammah, is suspected to have been kidnapped by two unknown men yesterday morning.

Mr Lawrence Quayeson had sought refuge at a family residence near Dansoman in Accra after packing out of Ms Hammah’s house.

A family friend who gave her name only as Nadia, with whom he had sought refuge, told an Accra radio station that the two men who picked him up did not identify themselves.

She said Mr Quayeson came to the house last Sunday evening to charge his phone but had to sleep over because it was late in the night.

According to Nadia, about 7:30 a.m.  yesterday, Mr Quayeson told her he was going to buy porridge, only for two men to pick him.

Mr Quayeson had earlier expressed fears over his safety.

Nadia said the unknown men who came in without any identifiable attire were driving a small blue-black Toyota car.

She was not able to indicate the registration number of the car.

“I don’t know where they are taking him to; he was charging the phone when they came and so he just left the phone with me and went with them,” she said.

She claimed she saw the two men enter the vehicle with Mr Quayeson and drove away.

Mr Quayeson was last Thursday arrested by the Mile 7 District Police when Ms Hammah lodged a complaint against him for allegedly recording her private conversations secretly.

He was released the following day.

He has also denied circulating the leaked tape of his former boss.
