A Circuit Court in Techiman in the Brong Ahafo Region has sentenced the man who kidnapped the three-year-old daughter of a radio presenter at Jerrison FM to five years in prison.<\/p>\n
The convict, Eric Otu kidnapped the three-year-old daughter of Deddy Brown, a sports presenter with Jerryson FM owned by the Jastar CEO Charles Asum to demand a refund of the 4,500 Ghana cedis he invested in the company.<\/p>\n

He said after a complaint was lodged, the father in collaboration with the Police were able to trace Otu and arrested at Techiman.<\/p>\n
Otu, according to ASP Badu then led them to where he had hidden the young girl.<\/p>\n
The convict argued that Jastar\u2019s failure to pay him when his investment was due resulted in the death of his mother.<\/p>\n
He said after his mother\u2019s death, he could not stand the frustration hence his decision to kidnap the girl to demand his money.<\/p>\n
He pleaded with the court for mercy but the judge ignored his plea for leniency and sentenced him to five years.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the Chief Executive Officer of Jastar Motors, Charles Asu, Martin Delle of DKM, among others have been granted bail by an Accra Circuit court.
