The juveniles are students of the school.
The two adult suspects are Isaac Kissi Adjei, alias Kofi Black; and Courage Teiko, alias Timmy.
A statement from the police said preliminary investigations revealed that one of the juveniles, in an attempt to extort money from his parents to enable him to travel abroad, conspired with the others to stage the kidnapping incident.

The investigation further disclosed that the juveniles, together with the two adults, succeeded in collecting GH₵20,000 of the total ransom demanded.
The police said in line with best practice, the identities of the juveniles have been withheld and their parents and guardians have been duly informed, as investigations into the incident continue.
