The three girls abducted in Takoradi
Police in the West region said the rescue of teenage girls kidnapped in Takoradi would not happen as fast as the public expected.
At a news conference, DCOP Redeemer Vincent Dedzo, the police chief of the region, said the complex nature of the problem prevented them from working as quickly as the public expected.
"Because you do not know my procedures, you will think that this should happen tomorrow and that it does not happen that way. In the criminal investigation, the process is progressive and if you do not take the time, you will avoid many things.
"Initially, our goal was to get the suspect, and the parents complain about not contacting them. So please, we are sure we will get there, "he said.
Police have received a series of criticisms about what the girls' abducted families – Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie, Priscilla Boateng Bentum and Ruth Love Quayeson – describe as their serene approach to the treatment of the abduction that was brought to them. ;last year.
Families feel that the police are not doing enough and until civil society and some lawyers started to put increasing pressure on them, they felt they did not give the issue the right to do it. be careful that she deserves.
But DCOP Dedzo said that this notion was misplaced.
He added that the process requires certain procedures and that the police ensure that all of them are exhausted so as not to violate any of them.
"We work," he badured, adding that "it's a gradual process. You should not expect this to be a fast track. "
He also revealed that the main suspect, a Nigerian, Samuel Wilson Udoterg, was a known abductor in his home country.
According to him, Udoterg was reportedly arrested and sentenced for the abduction of many girls in Nigeria. He would have left the country after his accomplice brother and himself had served their sentence.
DCOP Dedzo said the two are part of a sophisticated sub-regional union kidnapping girls.
He added, however, that the police are in contact with his Nigerian counterparts to share and exchange information that could lead to the arrest of other suspects.
"The police are still actively looking for kidnapped girls. The general public is urged to provide credible information to badist victims.
"We also call on the victims' relatives to remain calm while the police work tirelessly to rescue them," said DCOP Dedzo.
