Kidnappings have increased in the western region.
Security badyst Adam Bonah on Tuesday accused Takoradi's police of not reacting well to the kidnapping situation in the capital of the western region.
"From the beginning, I think there were gaps here and there. The police probably could have reacted quickly enough to help these girls, but unfortunately it was not able to do it in the first 72 hours and in a kidnapping case like this, the first two or three days if you are. If you can not carry out any proper rescue, know that every day, the situation will escalate, "said Bonah in Starr Today.
He added: "So, I think they had the opportunity to react quickly when the kidnappers or the kidnappers hired the victims' families about the ransom. They had the opportunity to react quickly, but there was a delay somewhere, "he added.
His comments come after one of the parents of the girls who were kidnapped lamented that the kidnappers allegedly refused to bring back his daughter even after paying the ransom requested.
Mr. Korankye told Morning Starr host Francis Abban that the kidnappers were using his daughter's phone to call him just so he could hear his daughter screaming in the background.
"It was said that my daughter had gone to town to buy things. Unfortunately, she never came back until I received a call from her later. My daughter said that she was taken to a place she does not know. I then received another call from the kidnappers who asked me to send them 50,000 GHC so that they could release my daughter.
"The kidnappers continue to call my daughter's phone. Sometimes they simply make a phone call and ask my daughter to scream in the background to ask her for help. One of the kidnappers who speak to me constantly has a Nigerian accent. I managed to mobilize money and sent to the kidnappers, but unfortunately they still did not release my daughter.
"I was very bitter, sad and hurt when my daughter's dress was shown to me in court. I can not say if my daughter is dead or alive. My daughter is 16 years old. She is the only girl I have. I lost my wife so I took my daughter as everything. At night, I just pray to my creator and sleep. When I go to bed, I sleep, "said the worried father.
Kidnappings have increased in the western region. Residents in the area claim that about seven people have been kidnapped so far, an badertion disputed by the police. The police put the number at three.
