5-month-old baby stolen at Asafo Market, police launch manhunt for female suspect
Panic has gripped traders at the Asafo Market in Kumasi after a five-month-old baby boy was allegedly stolen by an unknown woman in the early hours of Sunday.
A five-month-old baby boy was reportedly stolen from the Asafo Market in Kumasi, Ghana, on Sunday morning. The incident occurred at the Cape Coast Bus Terminal area of the market, specifically at the Opera Site. The baby's mother, Freda Owusu, a 25-year-old food vendor, had left the child under the care of her sister while she attended to market duties.
Upon returning, she discovered that both the baby and a woman who had been sitting nearby were missing. The suspect, described as a dark-skinned woman in her late 30s, has since evaded capture. The baby's parents have reported the incident to the Asokwa Police Station, and authorities are actively searching for the child and the perpetrator.
