Photos: Takoradi holds vigil for kidnapped girls

Residents of Sekondi-Takoradi in the Western Region and its environs on Sunday held a grand vigil for the three missing young ladies that were reported kidnapped last year.

The mammoth vigil was also to highlight what they say is the wave of kidnappings that has hit the twin city.

Although police say only three ladies have been reported missing, residents say at least seven ladies, most of them teenagers, have gone missing since last year.

Hundreds of residents thronged the dark streets, holding lighted objects such as candles and lamps and prayed sporadically to seek the face of God in the impasse.

The unprecedented vigil started with a “walk of prayer”, according to the organizers through the principal streets of Takoradi, specifically the Market Circle, after which they return to the starting point, the Jubilee Park. At the park, pastors led rounds of prayers to seek for God’s guidance for the three young ladies.
