The latest call follows a reshuffle in the police service which saw COP Tiwaa transferred to be the Director in Charge of Welfare of the police service.
A spokesman for the families, Michael Hayford Grant and a sister of one of the kidnapped girls, Nana Adjoa Quayson, demanded for her outright dismissal in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM.
“When I heard the news, I wasn’t surprised because we are in an election year and anything can happen. However, we do not know what the next CID boss is coming to do about our issue given the fact that they claim the bones that were found were those of the girls. God is watching them. We asked that she is sacked but they refused to do.”

The names of the girls are Ruth Abakah, Priscilla Kuranchie, Ruth Love Quayson and Priscilla Blessing Bentum have .
On Friday, January 3, 2019, Tiwaa was moved from the CID to be Director-General in-charge of Welfare at the Ghana Police Service.
