Chilling details have emerged about the abduction of Sylvia Patience Baah, Emirates Airlines’ Airport Services Manager in Accra in the Herald Newspaper today.
Operatives from Ghana’s National Security are alleged to be involved.
Sylvia, known for her strict adherence to Emirates’ punctuality policies, denied late-arriving National Security officials and a passenger boarding a Dubai-bound flight on Nov 19, 2024. Despite threats, she stood firm.

The three individuals—Kwabena Adu-Boahene, Benjamin Ansah, and Rashida Saani Nasamu—were eventually deboarded.
Rashida, a 1st class passenger, made calls in anger, vowing that Sylvia would “be dealt with.”
Two days later, on Nov 21, Sylvia was ambushed in front of her home after returning from the gym.
Two cars intercepted her, and armed men—some in police uniforms without name tags—accused her of driving a stolen car.
They forcefully took Sylvia, handcuffed and blindfolded, to an unknown location.
During her detention, she was interrogated, threatened with death, and accused of bribery, which she denied.
Viral social media reports about her abduction created immense pressure.
After over 24 hours, she was dumped near Ashaiman with her hands tied.
Sylvia sought help at a local Mawarko Restaurant before reuniting with her family.
@DTSIntelAfrica on Sunday, November 24 2024, received an eyewitness report to corroborate the aforementioned.
Sylvia’s husband reported his phone was suspiciously wiped clean of content after a call about her.
National Security operatives reportedly also stormed Emirates offices, warning staff to remain silent about the incident.
Despite public outcry, skepticism is high about justice being served.
Influential figures linked to National Security have reportedly visited Sylvia’s family, pleading with them not to go public.
According to the The Herald newspaper, “an influential government insider who is closer to the National Security Coordinator, Edward Asomaniand and Nana Attobrah Quaicoe has visited the home of Sylvia’s family to plead with her not to go public.”
The Ghana Police Service initially claimed credit for Sylvia’s release but in actual fact, the family had reported her discovery to the police after she returned.
They are yet to respond to these allegations following this exposé.
