The Keta Minucipal Chief executive, Mr. Wisdom Seade, has led a delegation to show solidarity with the family of 13-year-old Eric Korshie Adziakpor, who has been missing since Sunday, April 27, 2025.
He was accompanied by the Municipal Coordinating Director, the Keta Divisional Police Commander, officers from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), the Keta Fire Service Commander, and the Assembly Member for Dzelukope-Afugo.
Speaking to the family, Hon. Seade expressed deep concern over the boy’s disappearance and reassured them of the Assembly and security agencies’ commitment to uncovering the truth. “It is very unfortunate for a child to be missing for this long, but I am hopeful that Eric will return home safely,” he stated.
He urged the family to cooperate fully with the police and provide any relevant information that may assist the investigation. Hon. Seade also clarified that suspects who were taken to court and later returned to police custody were held in accordance with legal procedures, as the law prohibits detaining suspects beyond 48 hours without charge. He stressed that the police are working diligently to ensure a thorough investigation.
The MCE further assured the family that no such incident would be tolerated in the Municipality and that anyone found guilty would be dealt with severely to serve as a deterrent.
On behalf of the family, Mr. Julius Atitsogbui expressed gratitude to the MCE and his team for the visit and their show of support. He pledged the family’s full cooperation and urged the police to maintain professionalism throughout the investigation. Eric’s mother, Madam Fafali Adabla, also expressed her appreciation for the authorities’ concern.
