Constance Kisbour Mensah, a 15-year-old who was reported missing on July 28, 2024, has been found alive and is reportedly in good health.
Her disappearance had raised concerns after she went missing following punishment for returning home late from a barber shop.
Constance was located on August 9, 2024, near the Kasoa station with a woman who had allegedly been providing her shelter. The woman fled when Constance’s relatives approached.
A cadet trainer spotted her and informed her school authorities and the Police, aiming to verify her claims of being a school dropout.

At the Police station, Constance initially resisted questioning but later opened up to a senior CID officer about her reasons for leaving home. She admitted that she had been convinced by a classmate and her relative to travel to their hometown for a festival.
The classmate’s relatives had allegedly advised Constance to keep the trip a secret, leading her to pack a few belongings and leave home without permission.
When the trip fell through, Constance, fearing punishment, wandered for several days before being taken in by the woman, who exploited her for her thrift business.
Constance has since been reunited with her parents, and the Police are continuing their investigation into the incident.
