A two-hour-old baby delivered at Ante Joe’s Maternity Home at Atebubu in the Brong-Ahafo Region a couple of days ago by a 20-year-old lady, was stolen at the home, leaving the mother in trauma, DAILY GUIDE has gathered.
The baby, which was delivered on Tuesday at about 12am, was stolen after the mother, Grace Kuma, had fallen asleep.
According to Grace, after delivery her husband, Peter Boakye, prepared for her a cup of tea and fried eggs to eat.
After eating, she fell asleep only to wake up at about 2am to discover that her baby was not by her side. She then raised an alarm and reported to the hospital authorities and they also expressed shock about the development.
The Atebubu Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Joseph Atsu Dzineku, confirmed the incident to DAILY GUIDE on telephone but said investigations were still ongoing.
According to him, the mother of the baby was doing well but he was yet to engage with the maternity authorities to determine the modus operandi used by the baby thief.
