West Area Police Commander DCOP Redeemer Dedjoe said his office had uncovered new leads that could help them in their investigations to find the three abducted girls in Takoradi.

The family of victims accused the police of not doing enough to save the girls.

DCOP Dedjoe however badured Wednesday during a press conference that the new tracks collected would contribute to their rescue efforts.

"We have information coming in and we're trying to work on it to see how we can better manage the case. It is sometimes difficult to place these leads in the public domain because, as you well know, criminals also listen to what we do if you talk too much, this gives them the confidence to build more fence around them. them. As a result, I will call on us to keep some of these things until we have the chance to present what we are really looking for. "

He added that the public had no reason to live in fear, because the monitoring of communications on the Nigerian suspect's phone shows that he had a growing relationship with the abducted victims, promising to give them phones and jobs. DCOP Dedjoe therefore asked the public to remain calm and be wary of invitations from unknown people.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Women, Children and Social Welfare, Cynthia Morrison, called on the family of the victims to remain calm, while the police were working to rescue the girls.

"Already, the families of the kidnapped girls are agitated. All we pray for is to get our girls back … For the moment, we do not know what is happening to them. I pray that they will not be attacked. They [families] started to shake but I asked them to calm down … "
