John Oji and Samuel Udoetuk Wills <\/strong><\/p>\n

For
\nthe first time, the two suspected Nigerian kidnappers of the three Takoradi
\ngirls have appeared in court for their long-awaited trial to commence.<\/p>\n

The
\ntwo, Samuel Udoetuk Wills, 28, and his accomplice, John Oji, 29, arrived at the
\nSekondi High Court in a tinted police vehicle and with their heads in hoods
\namid tight security yesterday.<\/p>\n

Samuel
\nUdoetuk-Wills has already been sentenced to 18 months\u2019 imprisonment to run
\nconcurrently for escaping from lawful custody and causing damage to public
\nproperty by a Takoradi Magistrate Court. He is coming back alongside Oji to be
\ntried in the substantive case of kidnapping.<\/p>\n

Oji,
\nwho was arrested in neighbouring Togo through a special operation by the Ghanaian
\nPolice, has been charged with conspiracy and kidnapping.<\/p>\n

Yesterday
\nin court, Adelaide Kobir eWoode, who led a team from the Attorney General\u2019s
\nDepartment, told the court that John Oji\u2019s name had been mentioned in
\nconnection with the kidnapping of the three girls in Takoradi.<\/p>\n

The
\nSekondi High Court, presided over by Justice Hannah Taylor, remanded him and asked that the two suspects be brought together at the
\nnext adjourned case on July 24.<\/p>\n

The
\nprosecutor told the court that they needed to make some amendments on the
\ncharge sheet since there had been some new developments and also indicated that
\nthe accused persons ought to have legal representation.<\/p>\n

The suspects were quickly whisked away in a Ford Pickup vehicle by a team of gun-wielding police officers.<\/p>\n
