Families of the three kidnapped Takoradi girls have called off their planned demonstration which was scheduled for April 2, 2019.

According to the spokesperson of the families, Michael Hayford Grant their decision to call off the demonstration is as a result of assurances given to them by Child Rights International and the Ghana Police on finding the girls.

The decision also comes on the back of the appointment of liaison officers to facilitate communications between the families and the police.

“We planned to have a demonstration but that has been suspended because Child Rights are working hard to help us in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service to help us get our lovely sisters back,” he told Citi News.

The families had planned to storm the Police headquarters today May 2, 2019.
