Nkroful (W/R),
Aug. 13, GNA – The Acting Inspector General of Police, Mr James Oppong Boanuh,
has visited the families of the kidnapped Takoradi girls.

The meeting
with all three families was behind closed doors but the families confirmed that
the IGP’s visit was to commiserate with them and to encourage them to undertake
the DNA test to help the Police identify the discovered human remains.

Mr. Alexander
Koranchie, father of Priscilla Koranchie, who spoke to the GNA, said despite
the delay of the Command to visit the families it was better late than never.

He said the
delay in resolving the matter could be blamed on wrong perceptions that the
girls were “bad” children, adding that, “if they had been proactive, this issue
would have been resolved long ago”.

Mr. Francis
Bentum, father of Priscilla Blessing Bentum, also appreciated the visit and
said it was only prudent that they heeded to the public outcry to help
ascertain the identities of the remains.

Families of the
Quaysons have also confirmed the visit of the IGP to the family.
