Kidnapped Takoradi Girls Saga: Families Are In ‘Bad’ State of Mind
Child’s Rights International, a nongovernmental organization says families of the three Takoradi kidnapped girls are really in a bad condition.
Its Executive Director, Bright Appiah and his team who visited the families said “psychologically they are down”.
“One mother who is a nurse is really going through a lot when we visited,” he said in an interview with Neat FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ .
Between August and December 2018, three kidnapping cases were reported to the police from Kansaworodo, Diabene and West Fijai in Sekondi/Takoradi in the Western Region.
The first victim, Priscilla Blessing Bentum, 21, a third-year student of the University of Education, Winneba, was said to have been kidnapped at Kansaworodo on August 17, 2018.
The second, Ruth Love Quayson, 18, a senior high school graduate living with her parents at Diabene, was also said to have been kidnapped at the Butumegyabu Junction, popularly known as Bu Junction, on December 4, 2018.
The third, Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie, who turned 16 years on March 3, a student of the Sekondi College (SEKCO) who lived with her parents at West Fijai, a suburb of Takoradi, was said to have been kidnapped at a spot near Nkroful Junction in Takoradi on December 21 2018.
Police CID boss, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah at a press conference in Accra stated that the three girls are safe and will soon be reunited with their families – but nothing has been done.
Bright Appiah however urged the families to petition Parliament over the matter.
