Although the Police managed to arrest the prime suspect, identified as Nigerian national Samuel Wilson Udoterg, they could not get him to reveal the whereabouts of the girls in time.
The remains of the victims were later found at a residence occupied by the suspect, with DNA tests further confirming their demise.
Speaking at a media encounter on Friday, President Akufo-Addo said he regrets the way things panned out.
“My biggest regret from the beginning of this year is the kidnapping and killing of the four girls in Takoradi. It is a matter of great regret this year, having to deal with the issue of the missing Takoradi girls,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has also been criticsed over its handling of the case, with some even calling for the sacking of the CID Boss.
