Fear has spread among sellers at Kumasi's Asafo Market following the alleged abduction of a five-month-old infant boy on Sunday morning. The infant was reportedly snatched from the Cape Coast Bus Terminal section of the market, specifically at the Opera Site, around 5 a.m. Local family members claim the suspect is a dark-skinned, short woman in her late 30s who has since fled the area with the child.
The baby's mother, 25-year-old Freda Owusu, works as a food vendor at the market and had left the sleeping infant under the care of her sister as she prepared food. Upon returning to the store, she discovered both the baby and the unfamiliar woman missing. The suspect is not a known market trader and was only seen near the workplace when the child disappeared.
The baby's parents, Freda Owusu and her husband Emmanuel Acheampong, have reported the incident to the Asokwa Police Station, and police are currently conducting an investigation to locate and recover the child. Authorities urge anyone with information regarding the baby's whereabouts to contact the nearest police station.
