A three-day-old baby has been dumped along the Kasoa Okrudu River in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.
Reports suggest the mother is the alleged perpetrator of the shocking act.
According to eyewitnesses reported that animals had begun consuming the baby’s body when it was discovered.
The reasons for the act remain unknown, though the mother is alleged to be involved.
One male resident, “I was shocked when I saw this. I had to ask some of the elderly women in the area, who confirmed that the baby was not more than three days old. The baby is dead.”
Another witness stated, “The head is decomposing. The baby is dead. It is unfortunate. I don’t understand why someone would abandon the baby here.”
Also, Awutu Senya East Municipal NADMO Director confirmed the incident, stating that police are working to apprehend the suspect, while the baby’s body has been taken to the Police Hospital mortuary for investigations.
“We are working in collaboration with the Police to apprehend the one behind the incident. It occurred at the Kasoa Timber Market”.
“We cannot confirm if the baby was already dead before it was dumped at the scene or if it died after being dumped here.”
Some netizens reacting to the news stated, “What is coming into this world, God? By now, someone is also praying for a child”.
Another X user added, “U are not prepared, but u give birth. Most Ghanaians are not discerning at all. We live in a country where people largely base their thoughts on hope or/supernatural interventions, relegating reality to the bench. Jail her and throw the keys away”.
“Such a wicked world we live in, how can someone even do this, a child you gave birth to yourself?”, one more Ghanaian added.
A netizen added, “All sorts of abominations happening in umofia land”.
