Families of the three girls who were kidnapped in Takoradi in the Western Region have given 8-day ultimatum to the Regional Police Command to provide concrete results on investigation into the whereabouts of the girls.
The families, who seemed to have lost patience in depending on the police to help find the girls threatened to result to a demonstration after February 22, 2019 if they do not get desired results.
They also called on the command to make available the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officer, who allegedly assisted the main suspect of the kidnap to escape.
Speaking at a press conference at Diabene on Thursday, spokesperson for the families, Mr Micheal Hayford Grant pointed “boot for boot” as the title of their demo.
Information gathered indicated that the key suspect in Police custody, Samuel Udoetuk Wills, fingered a police CID officer and two others as persons who aided his recent cell break.
He went into hiding after his mysterious escape from cells but was later re-arrested in an abandoned, uncompleted building at Nkroful near Takoradi.
He has since made a number of appearances before the Takoradi circuit court but has refused to provide the location of the kidnapped girls.
Apart from the kidnapping charges, he is also facing charges including escape from lawful custody, destroying public property and resisting arrest.
Meanwhile, the Western Regional Police Command has set up a committee to investigate claims by the suspect that he was aided by an officer of the Criminal Investigations Department to escape from police custody.
Public Relations Officer of the Western Regional Police Command, Olivia Adiku, told Citi News that the Committee had been tasked to ascertain the truth of the matter.
