Some close family members of the missing girls who are now deceased have heaped praises on the CID boss Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah for her support and professional relationship during the frantic search for the girls.
According to some members of the Bentum and korankye families, the CID boss was in constant touch with them and did enough to assuage their pain.
Speaking to Starrfm.com.gh Wednesday, cousin of Priscilla Bentum, Isaac Ackon said calls for the CID boss’ resignation are “nonsensical and misinformed”.
“The truth is one. I’m saddened that one person is being unfairly blamed for what has happened. Whoever is pushing for her resignation is being misinformed. We are just sensational in this country, we rather target people for nothing and when we are asked to prove we fumble.
“Whatever she ought to do she did it, she has been calling us, checking up and help us in every way possible. As a mother she did everything she could for us. We are targeting her unfairly, it is nonsensical for people to ask her to go, I will stand with her any day,” he said.
Also jumping to the defends of the CID chief was Philip Korankye, a brother of one of the victims saying Maame Tiwaa was a huge shoulder for them to rely on.
“She was calling my father all the time. She has been helpful indeed. People don’t know what she was doing behind the scenes”.
The CID boss has come and deluge of attacks over her attempts to offer hope to parents of the victims as the issue raged on.
Meanwhile, the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service ACP David Eklu says the service is open to a second opinion in the DNA outcome of the bodies that were retrieved at Kasawrodo in the Western region.
According to him, the police has nothing to hide in the results that confirmed that the bodies were that of the missing girls.
“The news on the girls isn’t a pleasant one. There are some concerns in the media which we may find difficulty understanding . We deal with the families on individual basis. If the families want the remains for independent tests we won’t object to that,” he told Starr News Naa Dede Tetteh.
It comes after two of the families rejected the outcome of the DNA test conducted by the police.
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 Kasawrodo in the Western region, Starr News confirmed in August this year.

Reports in some Ghanaian media outlets seem to indicate that DNA tests for Takoradi girls cost the Ghanaian tax payer GHC 300,000, more than US$50,000! If the reports are true, then it will be necessary for whoever conducted the tests to provide a detailed break-down of the costs. I just conducted a GOOGLE search and found the following: A legal DNA paternity test typically costs between $300 to $500, which usually include the collection costs associated with the test. Non-legal paternity tests start at about $30 for the retail kit (not including the testing) to $250, depending on additional services such as expedited testing and shipping. What is going on in Ghana?
You said politics should be avoided on this issue but you just stoked more political fire. You are a confused person! Yes criminals did this but it is the job of the police to foil the activities of these criminals. When the case was reported what was the attitude of the police? A CID officer even aided the suspect to escape when he was first arrested and this officer is still in the service! He was simply transferred! And this happened under the watch of the CID boss! If a fish will rot it starts from the head!
Guys, it's not about Tiwaa or NPP or NDC. Some hardened criminals without mercy and fear of God have committed such a heinous crime by killing four Ghanaians and we are not even talking about that or them but rather tearing each other apart. what's wrong with us? Why do we want to win cheap political points out of nothing. Does this mean a particular political party has an interest in this so they could have used it for campaigning? Can the police re-visit Ofosu Ampofo's case? we want to know what's happening on that because the way the NDC is discussing this, hmmmmmmmm. asem beba dabi.
See this ediot! It is you and your entire generation who are frustrated and hopeless! Because you were borne by a haarlot you don't have a clue or any sense of family! Nobody suggested or said Tiwa kidnapped any body. You don't even understand simple grammar! In any serious country no one would tell Tiwa to resign: she would have done that herself after lying that she knew where the girls were and that they were alive but she won't reveal their locations in the interest of their safety. Now the girls are dead: all of them and she is still at post! What legitimacy does she have again? So you this gutter boy with your gutter brains come again! I wish this misfortune befell you and your uuseless family and this is what you would have said! Abbbbboaaa like you!
Ghanaians are expect in talking they know every thing but have no solution to any problem .if we can do their job why did we wait till now making this empty noise as if they kidnap the girls? let be serious at list once as a country please leave that CID boss alone. our medals in talking is leading us no where
I believe you failed comprehension in school , stop displaying your ignorance and read the article again. ***barred word*** bigot.....
You talk as if you know security more than the police or the from the investigation should have taken place. Ghanaians we talk bla bla all over the place, you talk as if she kidnapped the girls, you are a bitter , vile and frustrated human who has lost hope in life and you feel making someone miserable will make you better the people who are suppose to complain are hailing her and you are here lamenting , repent .
Ewuradze nyankopon, what have we voted for. So as for nana addo everything must be twisted in his favor. Even when families of these guys have rejected his call, npp still have rented press telling us that some family members, who are these family members praising tiwa addo Danquah? Asem oo!
I have listened to various stations and all I can draw is that we always go either political or it is pure evil. We seek to destroy each other irrespective of the circumstance. We seeks to bring people down even though we don't know the facts. It is very sad observing people who ought to know better call for the head of this hard working woman. Our country has not progressed not because the devil is responsible but it is because the ordinary Ghanaian is evil. Have anyone thought of the one who committed the crime , I believe he lived in a vicinity and they rented a house to him with no due diligence. There definitely are people who may have known that he is a criminal but just did not care. We welcome foreigners as if they are gods but most of them disrespect us by committing crimes that never existed in our society.
See these "rented" sympathizers who should know better! Whether she was feeding you with her breastmilk or not we do not give a hood! It is not the duty of a police officer and CID in particular to comfort: that is the job of psychologists! Her job was to investigate using intelligence(not ***barred word*** or lies).And the first act of intelligence was to cause a search to be conducted within the immediate vicinity of the suspects' place of abode! How will you rely on the "confessions" of a criminal as the basis for investigation? If a person can kidnap and murder then telling lies comes to him naturally and you don't even need to be a police officer to know this, less a CID boss! Those so called family members commending her for consoling them has that brought back your girls? Of course the whole of Ghana shares your grief and extend our unreserved condolences to the families but that is not the reason Tiwa must go. We are not asking her to go because she did not comfort you: we are asking her to go because she is not up to her job and publicly lying to Ghanaians on such a serious issue. Can any one of them tell me that if she stays on that job and she is confronted with a similar case will anyone believe anything she would say? Come on, let us be serious as a country. It now sound as though she keeping her job is more important than the lives of those girls lost.
