A group calling itself the Concerned Mothers Association of Ghana has said if the police fail to find the three girls kidnapped in the Western Region as soon as possible, they would have to face their wrath.
The group says the police must present the girls since they claim to know their whereabouts or they will be forced to suspect the police as a primary accessory to the kidnapping.
Two weeks ago, the Commissioner of Police, Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo Danquah announced at a press conference that the Police had located the three kidnapped girls and they were safe.
In a press release signed by the Convenor of the group, Mrs Josephine Amoh, there was no need in announcing the location of the girls if they are not found and sent to their parents immediately.
“We believe that if the Police as mentioned by the former CID Boss has been able to locate where our kidnapped girls are, then we are demanding that the CID without any further delay bring back our girls. By their pronouncements’ if we do not hear of the release of our girls, then we shall suspect that they have a hand in what is going on and should stop disturbing the families and the public.”
The concerned mothers are of the view that these announcements and press conferences of the location without the arrival of the girls only put unnecessary psychological pressure on affected families.
They further appealed to the First Lady and the wife of the vice president as well as Parliament to help find the girls and reunite them with their families.
“We are further and again appealing to our First and second ladies as well as the women in Parliament and the Attorney General and Chief Justice to put themselves in the shoes of the affected families and push for the girls to be reunited with their families better still for the Police to brief the families on what is keep them from releasing the girls.”
Below is the press release
Press Release by Concerned Mothers Association of Ghana, a women based group with a focus on issues bothering women and girls.
As Concerned Mothers, our attention has been drawn to the fact that the CID Boss, now COP Tiwa in press conference exactly two weeks today indicated that, the Police through diligence have managed to locate the 3 Kidnapped girls and further described them as safe.
We believe that if the Police as mentioned by the CID Boss has been able to locate where our kidnapped girls are, then we are demanding that the CID without any further delay BRING BACK OUR GIRLS. By their pronoucements, if we do not hear of the release of our girls, then we shall suspect that they have a hand in what is going on and should stop disturbing the families and the public.
This problem has affected the families psychologically and the police and the CID should do what they are supposed to do and BRING BACK OUR GIRLS What we want to see is our girls and not an unnecessary press conference.
The first girl Priscilla Blessing Bentum, 21 years was kidnapped on the 18 of August 2018 and for the past 242 days, nothing has been heard of her while 18 and 15 years old Ruth Love Quayson and Pricilia Mantebia Koranye have been gone for 134 and 117 days respectively.
We are further and again appealing to our First and second ladies as well as the women in Parliament and the Attorney General and Chief Justice to put themselves in the shoes of the affected families and push for the girls to be reunited with their families better still for the Police to brief the families on what is keep them from releasing the girls.
FEEL THE PAIN, WE WANT RESULT.
