Families of the three kidnapped Takoradi girls are threatening to embark on another demonstration on August 10, 2019, to register their displeasure about the slow process towards finding their relatives.
According to them the efforts of security agencies in resolving the case is poor as compared to efforts used in rescuing the two kidnapped Canadian girls.
At a press conference in Accra today, Monday, a spokesperson for the families, Michael Hayford Grant expressed optimism in the possibility of finding the girls who were kidnapped a year ago.
“We will be embarking on a demonstration to inform the government of the day that we are the ordinary Ghanaians who voted for them so they have to come to our aid.”
The girls; Ruth Quayson, Priscilla Blessing Bentum and Priscilla Koranchie, are believed to have been kidnapped between August 2018 and January 2019.
Some groups have held protests and also petitioned the President and the Sekondi Regional Coordinating Council over the case.
At a press conference held in April 2019, the Police CID boss said the police knew where the kidnapped girls were.
But on May 11, Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah made a U-turn on her claims.
“Sometimes in communicating something, the way you want to get it across, people may not understand it the way you want to say it,” she said.
The CID boss is also reported in a section of the media to have said that she made the remark to give hope to the families of the kidnapped girls.
The main suspect, one Samuel Wills, is currently serving a 36-month sentence for breaking jail.
A second suspect, John Oji, has been remanded.
