A 21-year-old lady, Mercy Sam, has been arrested by the Dansoman Police for allegedly stealing a two-week-old baby at Sukura in Accra.
According to the 20-year-old mother of the baby, Nana Ama, she left the baby with the suspect so she could take a bath and feed the child.
She said, “when I finished bathing, I went to the woman who is my sister’s neighbour for my child but she told me my husband had come for the baby. I called my husband on phone to confirm, but he denied coming for the baby.”

Suspect Sam later told Adom News she was compelled to steal the baby because she lost a pregnancy and did not want her husband to find out.
