Father of one of the dead kidnapped Takoradi girls Priscilla Mantsebeah Koranchie says he expected President Akufo-Addo's call earlier not after the release of the DNA test results.

According to Priscilla Mantsebeah's father, Mr. Alexander Kojo Koranchie, though the President's phone call was late, he cannot hold grudges against him.

Speaking to Starr FM, the Father of Priscilla Mantsebeah Koranchie the last girl to be kidnapped on December 21, 2018, said President Akufo-Addo personally called to console him.

“I was surprised that the President called though belated, he is the father of the nation and I cannot begrudge, I wish his call will have come earlier than this but all the same I am happy he called and God knows best.”

The acting Inspector-General of Police, James Oppong Boanuh, on Monday confirmed that results of DNA tests conducted on some human parts exhumed in a house in Takoradi are that of the four missing girls.

A special police operation led to the discovery and exhumation of the bodies of the four missing Takoradi girls at Kansawrodo in the Sekondi Takoradi of Western region in August this year.

Mr. Koranchie further stated that he accepts the results announced by the police after the DNA test.

“I don’t know if the police will release the remains of Priscilla Mantsebeah Koranchie to us for burial”.

The bodies were retrieved from a manhole in the house of the suspect Samuel Udotek Wills.
