Deputy Minister for Information Pius Enam Hadzide has disclosed that the government will send an official delegation to commiserate with family and relatives of the dead missing girls in Takoradi.

Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' program, he explained that the government sends its condolences to the bereaved family and that at an appropriate time action will be taken soon.

He, however, appealed with Ghanaians to desist from politicizing this issue and share in the grief of the families in these hard times.

He said the security of Ghanaians continues to be paramount to the government and that Ghanaians are urged to cooperate with the police in ensuring the safety of all.

He also urged the police to continue with their work in ensuring the safety of Ghanaians as government also provides the necessary equipment to support them in their activities.

The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that the four missing girls in the Western regional capital Takoradi are dead.

The Acting 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 JoyNews 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.
