A 10-year-old boy Leslie Werpiah Zumanu has gone missing since Monday morning after leaving home for school.

Zumanu who is a pupil of the St Joseph Catholic School in Adabraka in Accra has not been spotted since he left home.

School authorities say he did not report for school.

The incident has been reported to the police.

The development comes on the back of rising cases of missing persons in Ghana.

Last week, the Ghana Bar Association added its voice to calls for the security agencies to double down rescue efforts for the three kidnapped Takoradi girls.

Ruth Quayson, Priscilla Blessing Bentum and Priscilla Koranchie were kidnapped between August 2018 and January 2019.

The President of GBA Anthony Forson Jnr. in a speech read on his behalf by Nana Gyankomah Djaba-Mensah, a State Attorney at the commemoration of the 37th Martyrs Day held at Koforidua High Court on Friday, reminded the security agencies anxiousness of Ghanaians in seeing the girls rescued back.

“While we commend the security agencies for apprehending the suspected kidnappers of the two Canadian women, the country waits with bated breath to hear similar good news relating to the three residents of Tarkoradi”.

The GBA President expressed worry over seeming insecurity in the country.
