The families of three of the four girls kidnapped in Takoradi are scheduled to meet with the Inspector General of Police (IGP), James Oppong-Boanuh in Accra.
The purpose of the Thursday, October 24 meeting is mainly to demand the remains of human skulls used to confirm the death of the girls following a DNA test.
Speaking to Joy News’ Ina-Thallia Quansah ahead of their trip to Accra, the families of Priscilla Bentum, Ruth Abakah and Ruth Love Quayson insist the remains are not those of their daughters.
Once the bodies are released, they intend to push for an independent DNA test which they hope will counter what the police did.
Father of Ruth Love Quayson who is based in the United Kingdom but was forced to return to Ghana following news of his daughter’s death told the reporter nothing will persuade him to accept the result from the police’ DNA test.
Riss Quayson questioned how the police handled the case. For him, going from saying the girls were alive to declaring them dead, leaves him struggling to believe the police.
Priscilla Bentum’s father shares the same sentiments.
Francis Bentum said the families feel deceived by the police and it is impossible for them to take anything they say hook line and sinker.
He said the families have yet to be given an official report on the DNA test conducted by the police.
The news of the death of their daughters, he noted, was broken to them by word of mouth by police officials, this for Mr Bentum smacks of untruths.
He acknowledges the families cannot afford the cost of an independent DNA test but was hopeful that Ghanaians will support them when the time comes.
