His three-year-old son was also seen in the video walking with one Police officer.
In the video, Akwatia TV narrated that the suspect, Coffie Agyemang, a resident of Kwamang, was arrested by the police after allegedly attempting to sell his son for GH¢1 million.
According to Akwatia TV, the suspect Coffie Agyemang had discussed plans to sell his son to a friend, alluding to financial hardship as his reason.
The narrator added that the police were alerted to the suspect’s intentions and subsequently posed as a buyer.
Also, during discussions with the police, Coffie Agyemang allegedly agreed to receive GH¢1 million from the buyer before he sells his three-year-old son.
He further negotiated that those buying the son, if they wish to kill him, can cut his body as they need, and later the remaining mortal remains would be handed over to him for burial.
Meanwhile, the suspect Coffie Agyemang is currently in police custody and is assisting the Akwatia Police Command investigation.
Some netizens reacting to the shocking news stated, “Oh my God. Are these things giving us a sign that the world is coming to an end?? Things beyond human understanding are now happening. How can you look into this innocent boy’s eyes and sell him out, knowing very well that he’s going to be killed?? God have mercy on his children”
One X user added,“This is very bad. But since they’ve denied him the 1m, they should feed the child for the rest of his life. Maybe both parents agreed to that because of their situation…who knows”
“There’s a wickedness that poverty brings out of you.
If he could fend for the child and the child wasn’t a burden, he wouldn’t have done this”, a netizen added.
