According to him, the suspects will not be able to run their kidnapping business now that they are in the hands of the police, the same hands 28 year old Nigerian, Samuel Wills slipped out off.

She explained that she released the statement about the Ghana Police Service knowing the whereabouts of the girls to give the families of the missing girls hope.
