New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Tema East, DanielNii Kwartei Titus Glover has assured the family of the three girls who were kidnapped in Takoradi last year that the girls will be found soon.

According the lawmaker, government and its security personnel are working around the clock to find the three ladies who were abducted in the Western regional capital.

Mr Glover explained that although the rescue mission is taking a long time, several security arrangements have been put in place to find the missing girls and also arrest the suspects.

The three girls are 21-year-old Priscilla Blessing Bentum, last seen on 17 August 2018; 18-year-old Ruth Love Quayson, last seen on 4 December 2018; and 18-year-old Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie, last seen on 21 December 2018.

The Deputy Minister of Transport in an interview on Accra FM said in spite of the presence of the police and other security personnel in the country, Ghanaians should take their personal security seriously.

“The police cannot be everywhere and, so, you need to provide your own security everywhere you go. Prepare yours before you move around,” he advised, adding: “There are several crime-prone areas in the city and other arrears that we must provide lights to; there should be lighting around those places so that it will limit the robbery cases, and we are gradually doing that.”

He said: “Clearly and generally, Ghana is safe, so, nobody should create the impression that because of one or two crimes, the country is not safe”.

In his view, the recent successful arrest of the kidnappers of the Canadian girls was a plus for Ghana, assuring: “With regard to the missing Takoradi girls, we are getting there”.

“My colleague honourable Bryan Acheampong made a comment to the effect that we are getting there. We want to assure their parents that although it is taking a long time, the government is working hard to rescue the girls. I pray that in no time, at the right time, the girls would be found and brought home.”
