The Bawku West District Police have apprehended a young woman for allegedly abandoning her four-day-old baby at the Zebilla market.
The suspect, along with her sibling accomplice, was arrested in Kuloko, a neighborhood in the Binduri District of the Upper East Region.
Joseph Anaba, the Assembly Member for the Kuloko electoral area, confirmed the arrest in an interview with Accra-based Citi News. He disclosed that the suspect had been unaware of the father’s identity when she became pregnant months earlier.
The baby was discovered behind some shops on Friday, March 28, 2025, after a customer heard the infant crying while shopping.
The baby was subsequently taken to the Zebilla District Police Station, where a formal report was filed.
