Police must answer and justify her announcement about kidnapped girls – MP | Social

Andrew Kofi Egyapa Mercer, MP for Sekondi District in the Western Region, said the three girls abducted at Takoradi were to be brought into their families if the police's claims that they were found would be true .

The Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) revealed about two weeks ago that it had established, in partnership with the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), the whereabouts of the three Takoradi girls, but we did not hear about it anymore.

Many people questioned the reason behind the CID leader's motive for distributing this "sensitive information" when the girls were not yet brought home. Since then, the police are under pressure to bring them home if their claims are true.

Bright Appiah, Executive Director of Child Rights International, is the last to lobby, urging Parliament to convene the Minister of the Status of Women, Youth Protection and Protection and the Minister of the Interior so that They answer questions about the fate of missing girls since last year. .

Speaking on TV3 on Monday, the MP for Sekondi said the call for convocation of ministers was going in the right direction, pointing out that girls had to be reintegrated into their families as soon as they were found . The Ningo Prampram MP also agreed that the police should respond and justify his announcement about the girls, expressing his confidence in the quality of Ghana's police service.

"I believe it when the police say that she knows where the girls are, but that something could stop them from acting," he said.

According to him, Ghana's police are the best intelligence gathering in West Africa. He did not, however, want to conjecture about what exactly holds them back, but doubts that they do not know where the girls are.

He urged Appiah to formally present a petition to Parliament on this issue.
