The ’Killers’ of the four Takoradi Kidnapped girls now have lawyers to represent them. And a Jury of 7 has also been empanelled to decide the matter before it.

The kidnappers are known to be Nigerians, have been accused of kidnapping four girls in Takoradi in the Western Region.

Justice Richard Adjei Frimpong of the High Court in Sekondi has also empanelled a seven-member jury for the trial to commence.

The last time the case involving the two Nigerians – Samuel Wills and John Orji -appeared before his lordship Justice Richard Adjei-Frimpong, he explained that because it is now a capital offence, they needed legal representation.

Based on that the State Attorney, on the instructions of the Presiding Judge, wrote to the Legal Aid Scheme for help.

Fortunately, when the two appeared before the court on Wednesday, July 29, there was a counsel for them.
