A planned protest Thursday over the three missing girls in Takoradi has been called off.
Spokesperson of the families of the three girls, Michael Hayford Grant, told Accra-based Citi FM that the planned demonstration has been cancelled because of fresh assurances by Child Rights International, a campaigner for the return girls and 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,” Citi FM quoted him.
