The mother of a missing Lands Commission employee has made a heartfelt plea to the state to assist in the search for her daughter.
Since last year, Rhodaline Amoah-Darko, 33, has been missing. Dr Wilberforce Nkrumah Aggrey, a lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology's Petroleum Department, is on trial at Kumasi High Court for kidnapping and deception of a public authority.
Cecelia Obenewaa-Appiah, who was in court for the first time since her daughter vanished, saw her accused son-in-law for the first time.She spoke to the reporters after the court session, in tears, and said it had been difficult to sit through the proceedings.
"It hasn't been easy; it has been really emotional." In fact, I never imagined I'd be sitting in on a case involving my own daughter.
"I didn't think it should be anywhere near me, but here I am in the middle of things." In fact, I'm at a loss for what to do," she added, her eyes welling up with tears.
Madam Obenewaa-Appiah is optimistic that her daughter would be discovered alive.

"I'm looking for Rhodaline, and Ghanaians should assist me in finding her." Wherever she is, whether in Ghana or elsewhere, anyone who sees a lady walking erratically anywhere and is unsure of her location should report her to the authorities.
