A 35-year-old mother, Mena Efua, is alleged to have sold her two-week-old baby for GH₵300 at Nkotompo, in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis of the Western Region.
Sister of the suspect, Maame Esi confirmed the story to Connect FM.
Maame Esi indicated that, she aided her sister in delivery last week Monday but the baby suddenly disappeared.
“I assisted her to deliver last week Monday at home. After a week, the baby is nowhere to be found. I interrogated her and she confessed to giving the baby to an unnamed person for GH¢300, but has refused to disclose the identity of the person,” she narrated.
She added that, her sister initially admitted to handing over the baby to a nurse who promised to get her a buyer, but has also refused to name the said nurse.
“Initially she said she handed over the baby to a nurse who promised to sell the baby for her, but she has refused to name her. She is now telling us the baby is currently in Accra but can’t lead us to the exact place. We are currently looking for help to find the whereabouts of the baby,” she said.
