The First Vice Chairperson of the Convention People’s Party, Hajia Hamdatu Ibrahim, has chastised the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Cynthia Morrison, for supposedly doing little about the kidnapping of three girls in Takoradi.
According to her, the sector minister has not shown interest in a matter in which her influence can be brought to bear in getting the police to bring the kidnappers to book.
Speaking on Citi TV’s Breakfast Daily, Hajia Hamdatu Ibrahim said the Gender Minister is sleeping on the job.
“I am going to sound controversial on this issue; and I don’t care what people would read into it. The Gender Minister is sleeping on her job. Otiko Afisa Djaba would have been there with the police creating awareness, but here we have a case where we have not heard the voice of the Gender Minister. This should be a wake-up call for the minister, because some of us are not very happy,” she said.
When she was reminded that the Minister had spoken about the matter on Wednesday, she said that response even came rather too late.
On Wednesday, the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Cynthia Morrison, called on the family of the victims to stay calm, as the Police works to rescue the girls.
“Already, the families of the kidnapped girls are agitated. All we are praying for is that we get our girls back… As at now, we do not know what is happening to them. I pray they will not be molested. They [families] have started agitating but I asked them to calm down…”
The Western Regional Police Commander, DCOP Redeemer Dedjoe, has said his office has picked up some new leads that could aid their investigations to find the three girls who were abducted in Takoradi.
At a press conference on Wednesday, DCOP Dedjoe, assured that the new leads picked up will help their rescue efforts.
“We have some information coming in and we are trying to work on it to see how best we can handle the case. Sometimes it is difficult to put these leads in the public domain because as you are aware, the criminals are also listening to whatever we are doing so if you talk too much, it gives them that confidence to build more fence around themselves. As a result of that, I will appeal that we keep some of these things until we are fortunate to come out with what we are actually looking for.”
Citi News reported the disappearance of the girls believed to have been kidnapped by one Nigerian, Samuel Udoetuk Wills.
Three teenagers, Ruth Love Quayson, Pricilla Blessing Bentum and Priscilla Koranchie have gone missing for more than a month now, with the police doing very little to trace the girls.
The disappearance of the first victim was reported in August 2018, and the two others took place in December.
Samuel Udoetuk Wills was arrested but broke jail and escaped, and was later rearrested at Nkroful near Takoradi.

This ndc woman in cpp clothing is a joke! When cpp accept ndc members as their own how will Osagyefo's party attract new members? I was born into the cpp but the way some people hijacked the party and merged it with the ndc bored so many members and sympathizers and others pissed off that we all turned to the NPP and we are very comfortable with the way they handle the affairs of the nation! ask this woman when she became a member of the cpp?
WHAT IS THIS CPP WOMAN SAYING, LET BE CIRCUMSPET, THE FIRST KIDNAPP WAS IN AUGUST 2018, THE WHOLE GHANA WASN'T MADE AWARE TILL THIS YEAR SIMPLY MEANS THOSE FAMILIES WERE TRYING ON THEIR OWN TRYING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BY ENGAGING WITH THE KIDNAPPERS AND PAYING RANSOMS. IF THERE IS OR ARE ANY PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THE A JOB OR OUR JOBS THEN IT IS THE WHOLE GHANA. WE LIKE DOING POLITICS WITH EVERY ISSUE. POLICE WEREN'T EVEN REPORTED TO AND ALL ISSUES.
