The Ghana Police Service has arrested a second suspect in relation to the kidnapping of some three girls in the Western Region.

One of the three victims, 18-year-old Ruth Love Quayeson, was last seen on 4 December 2018. The other two, 21-year-old Priscilla Blessing Bentum, was last seen on 17 August 2018; and 18-year-old Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie, was last seen on 21 December 2018.

Samuel Udoetuk-Wills, a Nigerian, has been in police custody for months for the kidnapping of the three girls in Takoradi.

Briefing journalists in Parliament on Tuesday, 29 January 2019, the Minister for the Interior, Mr Ambrose Dery, disclosed that: “From the beginning of the investigation, there was a time when the suspect wasn’t talking, we now have a second suspect as well and we are doing all we can within the law to make sure we get the information”.

Asked by journalists for the identity of the second suspect, Mr Dery said: "You are talking about kidnapping, and I say we’ve picked a second suspect and the investigation is ongoing”.

Mr Dery assured the public that “the police is doing everything they can in picking leads and following leads and I think that we are making a lot of progress”.

He, however, declined to provide details about the identity of the second suspect but indicated that the police was doing everything possible to solve the case.
