“We have been told the suspect is in Accra and now being brought to court,” he told our correspondent but added “we don’t know when the suspect will arrive in Sekondi – Takoradi therefore there could be a delay”. Wills was on January 9 arraigned on a charge of escaping from lawful custody, resisting arrest and causing damage to police property. Hearing of the case was done two weeks ago .
Three prosecution witnesses- all police officers- gave evidence on Wills’ escape from Police cells where he was being held for investigations into the alleged kidnapping of three ladies in the Sekondi/ Takoradi metropolis. The Police in the Western Region decided to try the suspect first on the escape charges. Meanwhile, relatives of the three kidnapped girls who are yet to be rescued were left disappointed for the nonappearance of the accused person in court Monday. Sister to Richlove Quayson who was kidnapped in December 2018, Nana Adjoa expressed disappointment in the turn of events. “We were expecting to make some headway today but look at what has happened” she said. He said while the police are investigating the case with the hope of rescuing their victims, “we have also been fasting and praying for God’s intervention. Only yesterday we finished a 14 day fasting and prayer program, she said”. The Gender, Children and Social Protection Minister Cynthia Morrison on Sunday visited the families of the three kidnapped girls to commiserate with them. She assured them that “government is doing everything possible to rescue the kidnapped girls”. According to her, the suspect “has started talking and has said the girls are alive”.
