Alexander Kojo Koranchie, father of one of the kidnapped girls in the Western regional capital, Takoradi says he is hopeful that his missing daughter would be found alive because the kidnappers promised not to kill her.
According to him, the kidnapper’s main aim was just to extort monies from him before they release his 18-year-old daughter, Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie.
“My daughter had gone to town to buy some items when the unfortunate incident happened. On that fateful day in the night, I received a call from her and she told me she has been taken to a place she doesn’t know.
