So it means, prosecution still do not have anything concrete. So they asked the judge to go ahead with his ruling over the jailbreak. Now, we don\u2019t know when hearing on the kidnapping will commence\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed, \u201cSo we have to make all the noise unto government, unto the IGP that the work is keeping long, three children since August up till now\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cthe news that we were receiving from the police was such that it was giving us hope of getting a good report today about the whereabouts of the girls. So I was not feeling satisfied for today\u2019s proceedings going on with the matter of escape and causing damage. From what we heard, the investigation ought to have necessarily reached the point of getting the girls out\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the police say they know where the girls are, then what is stopping them from bringing them out, it is strange\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Tuesday, 30 April 2019 Source: 3news.com 2019-04-30 Nana Abakah is Lawyer for families of Tadi kidnapped girls Lawyer for the families of the three girls kidnapped in Sekondi\u2013Takoradi, Nana Abakah says the state cannot waste any more time in prosecuting prime suspect Samuel Wills on the actual case of kidnapping.
