They said they later got to know<br \/>\nthat two police officers had since been transferred from the Takoradi Division<br \/>\nof Police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe<br \/>\nare so desperate for news about our daughters and their whereabouts,\u201d they said<br \/>\nand added that the loud silence by the government over the issue was worrying.<\/p>\n<p>Michael<br \/>\nKoranchie, a brother of one of the girls, Priscilla Koranchie, said it was time<br \/>\nfor the Ghana Police Service and some government officials to stop raising<br \/>\ntheir hopes about the missing girls and later ignore them. \u201cThey should also stop<br \/>\nthe false information they give to you the media about the case,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>According<br \/>\nto him, it had been over a month since the arrest of the second suspect in the<br \/>\ncase, John Oji, yet they had received no information from the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe<br \/>\nfirst suspect Samuel Wills has stated in court that the second suspect John Oji<br \/>\nknows the whereabouts of our girls and that should he (Oji) be found, he could<br \/>\nshow where the girls are,\u201d he said, adding \u201cthe Criminal Investigation<br \/>\nDepartment (CID) of the Ghana Police Service led by COP Tiwaa Addo -Danquah<br \/>\nalso organised a press conference to tell the whole country that they know<br \/>\nwhere the girls are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Continuing,<br \/>\nhe said \u201cthe CID boss indicated that the girls were safe and they would be<br \/>\nbrought home soon only for her to make a U-turn after media backslash to say<br \/>\nthat she was misunderstood and that she only said that to comfort the grieving<br \/>\nfamily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr<br \/>\nBryan Acheampong was recently quoted as saying that the location of the girls<br \/>\nwas known and that the security agencies were working assiduously to bring them<br \/>\nto their families.
