Social Media Campaign To Find Kidnapped Takoradi Girls Underway

Ghanaians have taken to social media to mount pressure on the security agencies and government to bring back some three(3) girls that have gone missing in Takoradi in the Western Region within the last few months.

Using various hashtags including #BringBackOurTaadiGirls, they have asked the police to go the extra mile to ensure that the victims – Ruth Love Quayson, Priscilla Blessing Bentum and Priscilla Koranchie – believed to have been kidnapped are brought home.

Citi News reported the disappearance of the girls believed to have been kidnapped by one Nigerian, Samuel Udoetuk Wills.

The disappearance of the first victim was reported in August 2018.

Wills was arrested but broke jail and escaped and was later rearrested at Nkruful near Takoradi.

The police currently do not know the whereabouts of the girls but say they have picked up some new leads to could aid their investigations to find the abducted victims.

The Western Regional Police Commander, DCOP Redeemer Dedjoe at a press conference, said they are confident their new leads will help locate the kidnapped girls.

DCOP Dedjoe, however, asked the public to stay calm and be wary of invitations from unknown persons.

He added that there is no cause for the public to live in fear since tracking of communications on the Nigeria suspect phone shows that he had some level of growing relationship with the kidnapped victims with promises of giving them phone and job.

Family traumatized over 18-yr old girl's disappearance

The family of Ruth Love Quayson, one of the kidnapped girls said they are still traumatized despite the re-arrest of the suspect, Samuel Udoetuk Wills.

Awuradjoa Quayson, a sister to one of the missing girls – Ruth, said her sister's disappearance is affecting her family.

“Even when your child is sick, imagine the trauma you go through as a parent. How much more kidnapping? My mother has not been able to sleep from the very day the kidnapper escaped from the cells.”

“It has not been easy for the past one month, knowing that, our relative is there, but you are not hearing from her. You can't even tell whether she has eaten or not,” she added.

Below are some posts on social media demanding the safe return of the girls:
