Full transcript: Police confirm missing Taadi girls are dead

At a press conference Monday, the  Acting IGP, James Oppong Boanuh announced that the results of the DNA test on remains retrieved in Takoradi have been relayed to families of the three missing girls along with condolences.

Below is the full transcript of the IGP’s statement 

The officers of the Ghana Police Service informed four families in Takoradi in the Western region that the DNA test conducted on samples discovered in the course of police investigations into the disappearance of four missing girls have turned positive as the remains of the girls.

The GPS has with regret, therefore, informed the families that the remains are those of Ruth Abakah, Priscilla Blessing Bentum, Ruth Love Quayson and Priscilla Koranchie.

The investigations now establish that the girls were victims of kidnapping and murdering syndicate that operated in the Takoradi area. While for various reasons we were unsuccessful in obtaining and acting on accurate actionable intelligence in good time to enable us to rescue the girls, we believe that the arrest of the culprits has effectively thwarted the ability of this syndicate to continue with further kidnappings and murders.
