Arrested T'adi Girls Kidnappers To Be Charged With Murder - Police
Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, ACP David Eklu has disclosed that the arrested four (4) persons involved in the kidnapping of the dead Takoradi girls will now be officially charged with murder.
He says this follows the report of the DNA test conducted by the police on the missing girls and the results that accompany the test.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' program, he explained that the police have communicated the results of the test to the family and that the police will continue to liaise with the family.
He added that though he will not disclose the identity of the four (4) arrested persons, he can confirm that they are not Ghanaians.
He maintained that the police will continue to liaise with the family in this regard and assist them with the necessary resistance in the prosecution of the four arrested persons.
"The suspects will be hauled before the court as soon as possible," he assured.
The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that the four missing girls in the Western regional capital Takoradi are dead.
The Ag. Inspector of General of Police, James Oppong Boanuh said at a press conference Monday, that the results of the DNA test on remains retrieved in Takoradi have been relayed to the families along with condolences.
A family member who spoke to Joy News said, the results given to them shows the tests are positive.
The girls Priscilla Blessing Bentum, 21, Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie, 18; Ruth Love Quayson 18, and Ruth Abeka were victims of a kidnapping and murdering syndicate in the Takoradi area, the IGP said.
The police boss bemoaned the inability of the service to obtain “accurate and actionable intelligence” in “good time”.
But he said the arrest of the alleged kidnappers has “effectively” thwarted the ability of the syndicate to continue their murderous spree.
The main suspect, a 28-year-old Nigerian, Samuel Udoetuk Wills was arrested in the Western region, John Orji was arrested at the Aflao border while a third, only known as Chika was arrested in Nigeria.
