The Bawku West District Police have arrested a young lady for allegedly abandoning her four-day-old baby at the Zebilla market.
The suspect and her accomplice, who are siblings, were arrested at Kuloko, a suburb of the Binduri District in the Upper East Region.
The Assembly Member for the Kuloko electoral area, Joseph Anaba, confirmed the arrest in an interview with Accra-based Citi News.
Mr. Anaba revealed that the suspect conceived months earlier without knowing the identity of the father.
The baby was found behind some shops on Friday, March 28, 2025, after a customer heard a cry while shopping.
The baby was taken to the Zebilla District Police Station, where a formal report was filed.
Officers from the Social Welfare Department of the Bawku West District were also called in to assist.
