According to an earlier police statement dated August 5, 2019, it estimated a four week period for the test.

The families of the four kidnapped girls provided DNA samples for the test after a series of objections and protest.

Two of the suspected kidnappers are currently in police custody in Ghana while the fourth suspect who was arrested in Nigeria is still awaiting extradition.

A Takoradi based social media group, Imagine Takoradi and the Sekondi Takoradi Masqueraders Association, with support from the families of the kidnapped girls on the anniversary the kidnapping of the second girl, Priscilla Blessing Bentum, petitioned the office of Inspector General of Police, (IGP), in August 2019 for a fair exercise through the Takoradi Central Police Command, after a peaceful demonstration.

They paraded through the principal streets of Takoradi with placards condemning the CID Boss on her performance and utterances as well as called for fair forensic test.
