Speaking on Starr FM, Madam Arhin also accused the police of not compromising in finding the whereabouts of the missing girls

''The police threatened to arrest me after I slapped him. I took the action because I was frustrated. Ghanaians should rise up and get the police to act. We have no one to turn to, it's my turn today, it can be another's tomorrow ''.

At proceedings in court yesterday, Chief State Attorney, Patience Klinogo, disclosed that the accused persons used coded language on kidnapping and other crimes in their conversations on Facebook.
