Calls intensify for probe into disappearance of former NDC women’s organiser

The family and constituency executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Tema West are intensifying their calls for a thorough investigation into the disappearance of Paulina Lamisi Akampodipo, a former Women's Organiser. Akampodipo vanished two years ago, and her whereabouts remain unknown, causing significant distress to her loved ones.

The renewed appeal was made at a press conference in Tema, where the Member of Parliament for Tema West, Mr. James Enu, described the prolonged silence surrounding the case as "painful and unacceptable." He emphasized that the family, friends, and community continue to live in uncertainty regarding Akampodipo's fate. Enu remembered her as a dedicated political activist, mother, and community organizer who played a crucial role in women's mobilization within the constituency.

Madam Paulina Lamisi was not only a political organiser; she was a mother, sister, daughter and friend whose dedication and sacrifice touched many lives.

Mr. Enu stated that he has been in communication with the family, constituency leadership, and the Ghana Police Service since Akampodipo's disappearance. However, he expressed concern over the slow pace of the investigation and the limited updates provided. He stressed the importance of treating the matter as a human issue focused on justice, accountability, and public trust, rather than politicizing it.

Speaking on behalf of the family, Mr. Paul Anamde highlighted the severe emotional toll the disappearance has taken on Akampodipo's daughter, who is left with unanswered questions about her mother's fate. The family is appealing to the Ghana Police Service, National Security agencies, civil society organizations, religious bodies, the media, and the public for support in their efforts to locate Akampodipo. The case remains a painful mystery, with the community yearning for answers and closure.

A child should not have to grow up under such painful uncertainty about the fate of her mother.
