The Ga chiefs who subsequently paid a visit to him on Thursday have expressed displeasure about the outcome of the case.
According to the Paramount Chief of Nungua traditional area, King Doctor Odaifio Welentsi III, the chiefs have had sleepless nights ever since the investigations began.
He called on the BNI to fast track their investigations into the case.
"We are pleading with them (BNI) that they should dive into this issue as early as possible. If he is right he should know because as fathers we can't sleep because of this issue. So BNI should tell us whether we should sleep now or we shouldn't sleep forever," he told Accra-based Citi FM.
