Some close family members of the missing girls who are now deceased have heaped praises on the CID boss Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah for her support and professional relationship during the frantic search for the girls.
According to some members of the Bentum and korankye families, the CID boss was in constant touch with them and did enough to assuage their pain.
Speaking to Starrfm.com.gh Wednesday, cousin of Priscilla Bentum, Isaac Ackon said calls for the CID boss’ resignation are “nonsensical and misinformed”.
“The truth is one. I’m saddened that one person is being unfairly blamed for what has happened. Whoever is pushing for her resignation is being misinformed. We are just sensational in this country, we rather target people for nothing and when we are asked to prove we fumble.
“Whatever she ought to do she did it, she has been calling us, checking up and help us in every way possible. As a mother she did everything she could for us. We are targeting her unfairly, it is nonsensical for people to ask her to go, I will stand with her any day,” he said.
Also jumping to the defends of the CID chief was Philip Korankye, a brother of one of the victims saying Maame Tiwaa was a huge shoulder for them to rely on.
“She was calling my father all the time. She has been helpful indeed. People don’t know what she was doing behind the scenes”.
The CID boss has come and deluge of attacks over her attempts to offer hope to parents of the victims as the issue raged on.
Meanwhile, the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service ACP David Eklu says the service is open to a second opinion in the DNA outcome of the bodies that were retrieved at Kasawrodo in the Western region.
According to him, the police has nothing to hide in the results that confirmed that the bodies were that of the missing girls.
“The news on the girls isn’t a pleasant one. There are some concerns in the media which we may find difficulty understanding . We deal with the families on individual basis. If the families want the remains for independent tests we won’t object to that,” he told Starr News Naa Dede Tetteh.
It comes after two of the families rejected the outcome of the DNA test conducted by the police.
The acting Inspector General of Police, James Oppong Boanuh, on Monday confirmed that results of DNA tests conducted on some human parts exhumed in a house in Takoradi are that of the four missing girls.
A special police operation led to the discovery and exhumation of the bodies of the four missing Takoradi girls at Kasawrodo in the Western region in August this year.

You said it all dear. Ghanaians will always blame government and others over everything. The Ghana police did very well in their investigation
I have followed the Ta'di girls case in the country and would like to make these comments: 1. GH Police is not a consolation agency. Before you insult, know this: the fact that you reported a missing case does not exonerate you as a potential suspect. 2. GH police is not obliged to give the family full details of their investigation: because they could be potential suspects 3. Did the CID boss commit any offense by saying they know where the girls are: professional NO. You do that if you want to cause potential suspects to talk so you tap and listen to their phone conversations. Again what if the arrested suspect insistently misled the Police? We do not know what the various family members did wrong prior to or during the time the girls went missing. Their outward cry makes them no saint. The Police did a good job. There thousands of unsolved cases in so called advanced countries with all the technologies.
