Many Ghanaians expressed shock after the police broke the news that the four missing Takoradi girls were dead following results of a DNA test.
Before the shocking news on Monday, CID Director-General, Tiwaa Addo Danquah, had said that the girls – Priscilla Blessing Bentum, 21, Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie, 18; Ruth Love Quayson 18, and Ruth Abeka – were alive and their whereabouts were known.
However, after the sad news by acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP), James Oppong-Boanuh, Ghanaians want the police service to held responsible for the death of the four girls – singling out the CID boss.
Many people on Twitter have begun calling for the resignation of the CID boss, because, according to some, she handled the case unprofessionally and with utmost incompetence.
The preponderance of this view on Twitter has shot #TiwaaMustGo to the number one spot on the social media site.
@Ed_Elikplim wrote, “How do you not understand that you need to go because you're terrible at your job?”
@NhyirabaAndy believes if Tiwaa was in Europe, her resignation would not have been a problem.
Another user @ElormSakitey wonders how the CID boss feel watching the families weep after hearing the news of their daughters.
The kidnappings and failure of the police to find the girls alive have raised the thoughts of one user who said he no longer feels safe as a Ghanaian.
“In any serious country, the conscience alone of this woman would make her resign from office and apologize but in our part of the world, she's, as usual, in her uniform going to work this morning. No shame! No integrity!,” @EkowDjan_ wrote.
Other users, however, are in doubt if the DNA test done on the bones found in the septic tank really belongs to the girls as the police claim.

Unfortunately, Tiwaa doesn't have a conscience. She will shift blame right now, mark it somewhere.#TiwaaMustGo today ohhhhh, today!#Joynews #Ghana #BringBackOurTaadiGirls

Tiwaa is competent. I have personal bais for women in high positions. She got this one wrong. She handled this case so bad and as such must be fired since she won”™t resign. But am sure she”™s been given some assurance else all these calls for her to resign.. #TiwaaMustGo

Sad but true. When you are burgled and the police man tells you "God will replace what you have lost", you know you are on your own. https://t.co/0e4bsWY45D

And to keep looking into the matter, Ghanaians have to sometimes pay the police to investigate. It”™s shameful #TiwaaMustGo https://t.co/mSAKUhUPQL

...of mine who got kidnapped. The question is, how was he found when some Taadi girls were still not found. The real problem is the media or let me say, Ghanaians as whole. If these girls' case was a 'lowkey' one, ...#BringBackOurTaadiGirls #CitiCBS #TiwaaMustGo #JoySMS #JoyNews

So anytime Messi is given the ball he should score or he will be fired. What kind of weird thinking is this?
— Maxwell Kofi Jumah (@jumah_k) September 17, 2019
What sort of contradiction is this? We are talking about someone who has openly said, "we have found the girls and would soon be reunited with their families..." Has Messi openly said he will score every opportunity he gets?
— Ekow Johnson (@kmpee_jay) September 17, 2019
This is what some hypocrites we have as politicians could be. This is a sensitive matter and you sit on social media to liken it to Messi, smh! #JoySMS #TiwaaMustGo #EnoughWithPolicePolitics
— Ekow Johnson (@kmpee_jay) September 17, 2019
"We know where they are...." The most deceitful & reckless statement by a head of an intelligence unit. Sadly, After such an open display of gross incompetence and unprofessionalism this woman still retains her job. #TiwaaMustGo https://t.co/qprU1gMMjq

Ghanaian leaders seriously must have more integrity. She botched an investigation. She lied. And caused more pain to the families. She has to go #TiwaaMustGo https://t.co/rqVSfl2Q9d

Enough of the rhetoric. Enough of the Mary go round and the empty hopes. Evidently the task at hand is bigger than Big-jawed CID boss.
