He said that a review of the CCTV around the OPD of the hospital captured the moment the accused person was leaving with the baby. A midwife at the Mamprobi Hospital, who spoke to GhanaWeb on condition of anonymity, corroborated the details given by Hayford. She indicated that the accused person fooled the mother of the 4-day-old baby, claiming he had to be taken for some medication. The mother was breastfeeding the child when the woman told her to give her the child so she could give him medicine. The Ghana Police Service has since arrested the accused person and given the baby back to his mother.
