#TiwaaMustGo: Social media users want CID boss sacked
It’s been less than 24hours since the nation received a shocking news that will later change planned conversations on all media platforms in the country – the Ghana Police Service confirmed the death of the four missing Takoradi girls.
The girls, Ruth Abakah, Priscilla Kuranchie, Ruth Love Quayson, Priscilla Blessing Bentum were reported last year with several hashtags that demanded that the police and Criminal Investigations Department (CID) act swiftly to bring the girls.
In the heat of these hashtags and pressure from families of the girls, the Director-General of the CID, DCOP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, in a press briefing earlier this year assured Ghanaians that the service knew the whereabouts of the missing girls, adding that they were safe and would soon be brought back home.
“We know where the girls are,” she told reporters at the news conference.
Fast forward to yesterday, September 16, 2019, the Inspector General of Police Confirmed that the girls were dead after DNA tests run on human parts found in the vicinity of the suspected kidnapper’s home indicated that the remains were that of the girls.
But social media users will not give DCOP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah any breathing space as a fresh hashtag #TiwaaMustGo has emerged asking her to either resign or be sacked by the president.
Check out some of the tweets below:
Nobody needs to tell U to resign..You should just bow Ur head in shame and quietly resign from Ur post… U are a disappointment to the CID division of the @GhPoliceService… If I was you I would have resigned after that so called we’ve rescued press conference.#TiwaaMustGo

In any serious country, the conscience alone of this woman would make her resign from office & apologize but in our part of the world, she’s, as usual, in her uniform going to work this morning. No shame! No integrity! #TiwaaMustGo #BringBackOurTaadiGirls #JoyNews#JoySMS pic.twitter.com/RVs9kG984Z
