Girls kidnapped: family rejects Prez Akufo Addo's appeal | Social

The family of Ruth Love Quayson, one of the disappeared girls from Takoradi confirmed dead by the police, mocked the call of the Ghanaian president, Nana Akufo-Addo. The president had telephoned high-ranking police officers who were at the family's house to console them, but the deceased's uncle said the call had arrived too late and was unnecessary. The family was also furious that the police only verbally communicated to them the results of the DNA report on skeletons discovered in August without any documentary evidence. Kwame Tawiah, Quayson's uncle, who looked bitter, told Connect FM's Paa Kwesi Simpson in an interview after police departed Monday morning in the family home. He confirmed that while the police were with the family, President Akufo-Addo had called and wanted to talk to them. "My sister asked them who Akufo-Addo is. Does he know the families of missing children? ", He recalls. "Akufo-Addo called on the phone but no one spoke to him". Speaking to Fante, Mr. Tawiah explained, "We rejected it because it is not today that Akufo-Addo will call to talk to us about the issue." My brother, it's sad that Nana Akufo-Addo calls at night at this hour.

False report
According to him, the family felt neglected by the president at the time when she suffered and needed him most. "I'm not sure Nana Akufo-Addo can talk to the family. When you [referring to the president] come to town, we could not see the family, but when they report to us a false report, that is when we want to talk to us, we do not need his call. He did not seem convinced that the DNA tests carried out on some skeletons discovered in August in the west are those of the four missing girls. Ruth Love Quayson, 18, was reported missing on December 4, 2018. The other girls Ruth Abaka, Priscilla Blessing Bentum and Priscilla Kuranchie were reported missing on July 29, August 15 and December 21, 2018, respectively.

The first week of April 2019, the director general of the police, CID, DCOP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, had given the family hope that the girls were alive. "With BNI we have worked very well and we know where the girls are now," DCOP Addo-Danquah told reporters. Mr. Tawiah said the family was still hoping for her. "Mrs. Tiwaa called my sister to tell her that the girls are alive, but that the money they claim is huge. We should not inform anyone. The government will pay the ransom and get them back. Why is he now asking to stay calm? he questioned.
