John Orji<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second suspected kidnapper of the three Takoradi girls, who was
\narrested in neighbouring Togo through a special operation by the Ghanaian
\npolice, failed to show up in court yesterday.<\/p>\n

The suspect, John Oji, 29, a Nigerian, was hauled before a Sekondi high
\ncourt on Wednesday, June 13, 2019, on the charges of conspiracy to kidnap and
\nkidnapping.<\/p>\n

The Sekondi High Court, presided over by Justice Hannah Taylor,
\nremanded the alleged mastermind until yesterday but he was nowhere to be found
\nwhen the case was called.<\/p>\n

Journalists present in court yesterday gathered that the suspect was
\nassisting the police in investigations and was not readily available to appear
\nbefore the judge while another source said the suspect is due in court on
\nFriday, June 28.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> first broke the news on
\nTuesday, June 11, 2019, that the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of
\nthe Ghana Police Service had made a major breakthrough in the effort to rescue the
\nthree girls by arresting a prime suspect in Togo. <\/p>\n

The news of the arrest of the prime suspect was a relief for many
\nresidents in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.<\/p>\n

At the last court sitting, Adelaide Kobire Woode, who led a team
\nfrom the Attorney General\u2019s Department, told the court that John Oji\u2019s name had
\nbeen mentioned in connection with the kidnapping of three girls in Takoradi.<\/p>\n

She pleaded with the court to remand the suspect to enable the
\npolice gather enough information for the trial and after the proceedings, the
\nsuspect was quickly whisked away in a Ford pickup vehicle by a team of gun-wielding
\npolice officers.<\/p>\n

First Suspect<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samuel Udoetuk-Wills, who was first to be arrested in connection
\nwith the missing girls, had reportedly mentioned John Oji as the one who aided
\nhim to escape from police cells and that he (John) was the person who could
\nshow where the girls are.<\/p>\n

Udoetuk-Wills gave the account while he was in police custody at the
\nTakoradi Central Police Station.<\/p>\n

Strangely, Samuel Wills escaped police custody the day John Oji came
\nto Ghana ostensibly to help retrieve the three kidnapped girls.<\/p>\n

According to sources, Udoetuk-Wills told the police that John
\nconveyed the girls to Nigeria and that his arrest would lead to the rescue of
\nthe girls.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Nigerian, Udoetuk-Wills, who has been accused of
\nkidnapping the three girls in Sekondi\/Takoradi was sentenced to 18 months\u2019
\nimprisonment to run concurrently for escaping from lawful custody and causing
\ndamage to public property.<\/p>\n

The substantive case of kidnapping is pending.<\/p>\n
