According to Starrfm.com.gh, the alleged kidnappers placed the little boy identified as Philip Ametepey in a sack to carry away but their evil intention did not materialize.
The news website reported the boy as saying his mother had sent him to buy a blade, and on his return, he met his abductors who forced him into a sack and tied him.
The victim added that he however quickly remembered the blade he had gone to buy, so he used it to cut the sack and managed to escape without the captors knowing.
