EP43: The case of 3 Canadian Girls Kidnapped in Ghana II Ghanacelebrities - a podcast by Nana Kwame

This month saw the unfortunate incident of three canadian girls getting abducted/kidnapped in Ghana West Africa. The case which was swiftly dealt with resulting in the girls being found within a week has lead to a lot of people praising the security agencies in the country. Kidnapping is becoming a thing in Ghana although other countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and almost the entire African continent has reports in local media about kidnapping cases. 

Although the security agencies did what they needed to do, the question still has to be asked about how they deal with local matters. 

Prior to the kidnapping and rescueing of these girls from Canada, some Ghanaian girls below the age of 17 have been kidnapped/missing for more than a month and the security agencies haven't being able to present anything that shows they are actually trying to find them. As a matter of fact, they kept lying to the general public with the head of CID claiming at one point that they knew where the girls were and the girls will be returned to their families soon. This woman is still in office and recently had to apologise for that.

Ghanacelebrities.com with the Wahaala boys look at the situation and asks "are African's second class citizens withinh their own countries?"
