Following the disappearance of three young ladies, residents of Sekondi-Takoradi in the Western Region of Ghana and its environs on Sunday held a vigil.
The girls were said to have been abducted
last year by a 28-year-old Nigerian kidnap kingpin who is currently in
police custody, Samuel Udoetuk Wills.
The Ghanaian Minister of
Gender, Children and Social Protection, Mrs Cynthia Mamle Morrison,
revealed that the Nigerian suspect has begun talking to the team of
investigators, as it was hinted that the girls are still alive.
Hundreds
of Ghanaian residents gathered on the streets while holding lighted
objects such as candles and lamps and prayed for the safe return of
Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie, 18; Priscilla Blessing Bentum, 21; and
Ruth Love Quayson 18.
It was gathered that some of the residents
also laid curses on the Nigerian suspect during the vigil as can be seen
in the pictures.
