‘Kidnapped Taadi girls still in Ghana’ – Gender Minister

Gender and Social Protection Minister, Cynthia Morrison, says there are strong indications that the three Takoradi young ladies reported kidnapped since last year are still in Ghana.

The Minister said although human trafficking has not been ruled out in the disappearance of the girls, there is a strong likelihood that the Nigerian kidnap syndicate believed to be keeping them has not taken them out of the country.

“We don’t think that the girls have been sent out of the country. They are still here in Ghana but the Nigerian High Commission is also talking to his colleagues out there,” Cynthia Morrison said Monday evening on PM Express, a current affairs programme on MultiTV.

The Gender and Social Protection Minister a meeting on Monday with the Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana in a bid to discuss ways to find the three young ladies also provided important leads.

According to the Minister, the key suspect in the kidnapping saga, Samuel Udoetuk Wills, a Nigerian being held by police, had a fruitful chat with the High Commissioner.

She said she could not share to the public details of the meeting between the High Commissioner and the suspect, but they will help with efforts to find the girls.
