Samuel Udoterg Willison
The suspect of kidnapping three girls in Takoradi revealed on Monday in court that a police investigator had helped him out of jail.
Samuel Oudoterg Willson told the court that he did not know the name of the officer but that he could identify him.
In addition to this officer, the suspect said that a Kwesi had helped him use oil, which had allowed him to cut the metal bars used to barricade the cell's windows.
Mr. Willson, however, indicated that he was not aware of the location of the said Kwesi and asked the court to locate him for a period of time.
He is currently on trial for escaping from legal custody. The case was postponed until February 18, 2019.
Willson is in the capital, Accra is currently helping the police investigate the fate of the three abducted girls.
A vigil was held in Takoradi on February 4 for abducted girls.
He escaped from prison after being arrested as part of the kidnappings. Police said he admitted the kidnappings, but did not cooperate to find out where they were.
"He does not stop sending us to bad places," Joy News told the West Regional Police Commander.
What did the girls' family say?
The families of the girls, however, expressed their dissatisfaction with the ongoing procedures.
Girls kidnapped
They said that girls' return was of primary interest to them; they have no interest in criminal prosecution.
Cynthia Morrison, Minister for Women's Welfare and Social Welfare, recently visited families, baduring them that their daughters are alive.
"… so they're alive, where are they," questioned a family member.
The sister of Ruth Quayson, one of the kidnapped girls, told Ina-Thalia Quansah of the newspaper Joy News that they were proposing to the authorities an ultimatum or a gigantic demonstration in the western regional capital.
Priscilla Bentum was abducted in August 2018, while Ruth Quayson and Mantebea Koranchie were arrested in December of the same year.
