He stressed: "We must therefore make all the noise with the government, the IGP for the work to last for a long time, three children from August to now …"
He said: "The news we received from the police was such that it gave us hope to get a good report today on the fate of girls. I did not feel satisfied with today's procedure for evasion and damage. According to what we heard, the investigation should have necessarily resulted in the girls' exit.
"If the police say that she knows where the girls are, then what prevents them from getting them out is strange," he said.
