The three girls were abducted in Takoradi last year
Colonel Festus Aboagye, a security badyst, accused the government of more proactively addressing the kidnapping of two Canadian girls than the three kidnapped in Takoradi.
According to him, to the extent that the two kidnapping cases are not identical, the speed and the way in which the government has treated the case of Canadian girls in relation to that of the girls in Takoradi is worrying.
The two Canadian women kidnapped in Kumasi on June 4, 2019 were rescued a little more than a week after the incident.
This issue has sparked a lot of public debate, with many people accusing the government of not giving priority to the lives of Takoradi girls, who have been missing for nearly a year.
Speaking Saturday on key points of TV3, Colonel Abūagye said the government had not adequately managed the kidnapping of Takoradi's daughters.
He added that the government and security agencies have not done enough to rescue the kidnapped Takoradi girls.
"What concerns me, or probably the debate, should be the management of the two kidnapping incidents.
"On one side we have seen a lot more proactivity towards Canadian girls, but with the case of our own girls, we have to admit it and that is why I am It worries a bit when some segments of society turn around to suggest that they did the best, we did not do the best, "he lamented.
Colonel Aboagye stated that the police had not ensured that the captors of the Takoradi girls were properly treated.
"We regrouped and sabotaged the operation from the beginning, claiming that we had allowed the suspects to go out of jail for several days, which compromised all the evidence that the police could have been in the footsteps of these people. kidnappers. "
Gagged police force
Colonel Aboagye also claimed that the government had gagged the police so that she was talking about cases of kidnappings in the country, a situation that he finds worrisome.
"I have the impression that the police are gagged," he said.
"In the case of Canadian girls, we have the Minister of Information at the end of the operation to tell us what happened, did we see the same thing with the girls of Takoradi? "He asked.
He stated that when the Minister of Information addressed the media after the rescue of Canadian girls, the head of the IDC was present but was not allowed to talk about problems.
He said that the government chose the degree of importance that should be attached to kidnapping cases and that it did more for abducted Canadian girls.
Colonel Aboagye stressed the need for the government to develop a "concrete global strategy to solve problems" and avoid engaging only in discussions and promises.
He said that it was necessary to develop an appropriate strategy to fight against terrorism and other crimes, as was the case in more advanced countries.
