ACCRA, Ghana — Authorities say two Canadian women who were abducted earlier this month in Ghana have been rescued.

Ghana’s information ministry says the rescue operation was completed early Wednesday in the south-central Ashanti region. No other details are immediately available.

The ministry has sought to assure travellers that the West African nation remains safe despite a recent uptick in kidnappings for ransom. The country has been considered one of the safest in the region for foreign travellers.

This was the second time in less than a month that foreigners were targeted in the city of Kumasi. An Indian national earlier was abducted and rescued.
