According to the Ghana Police Service, a woman has been arrested after her eight-to-nine-month-old infant was found abandoned in a bush at Mbradan New Site, located in the Upper Denkyira East Municipality of Ghana's Central Region. The child was discovered on Sunday, November 1, 2026, leading to community concern. Sources indicate the mother allegedly left the baby in the bush because her husband refused to assume responsibility.
Additionally, the woman is reported to have been experiencing financial difficulties and lacked a reliable source of income to support the child. The woman, hailing from Kadawene, a neighboring community near Mbradan where the toddler was found, has been arrested by the police as investigators work to uncover the full circumstances surrounding the alleged abandonment.
However, details about the identity of the child's father and the exact events leading to the toddler being left in the bush remain unclear, with further information expected to surface as the police continue their inquiries.
