A non-governmental organization dedicated to empowering women, Africa Diva Foundation, has called on the Ghana Police Service and other relevant security agencies to produce an update on the missing Takoradi girls’ case.
According to the group, these security agencies have a duty to periodically give progress reports to families of the victims as well as the public, as there has been no public statement on the issue this month.
President of the organization Clare Sablah said in a statement made available to starfm.com.gh “the three missing Takoradi girls have become a public interest matter hence the government and the security agencies have a duty to periodically inform the public and especially the families of the status of investigations of the missing girls.”
The group also requested that the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, inform Ghanaians on the support systems they have in place to help the mothers of the girls.
The statement stressed “the whole of this month we haven’t heard any public statement on this issue and we think it’s too long a silence, we are demanding an update statement from government and/or the Ghana Police Service on the current status of investigations on the missing girls of Takoradi.
“Next month will be about a year when these kidnaps occurred and we demand that the state and its agencies give us a full report on what they have been doing so far since this matter came to their attention”
