According to the mother, Felicia Obenewaa, she was contacted by the police after a woman brought the missing baby to the station. The woman reportedly told officers that an unknown individual had handed her the baby for temporary care but never returned to retrieve the child.

Sources indicate that Mrs. Obenewaa had visited the hospital for a postnatal review when the incident occurred. While at the facility, she was approached by a young woman who engaged her in conversation and offered assistance.

Mrs. Obenewaa is said to have briefly left her baby in the woman’s care to use the washroom, only to return and find both the stranger and her baby missing.

Hospital authorities later confirmed that CCTV footage captured the suspect leaving the premises with the baby.

Police investigations are ongoing to identify the suspect and determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Information gathered by Adom News suggests the baby’s mother, Felicia Obenewaa, had taken her infant to the hospital for a postnatal review when the incident occurred. While at the facility, she reportedly met an unknown young woman who engaged her in conversation and offered to assist her.

Mrs. Obenewaa is said to have briefly left her baby in the care of the woman to use the washroom. Upon her return, the stranger had vanished along with her newborn.

Hospital authorities have since confirmed that their CCTV cameras captured the suspect leaving the premises with the baby.

The footage has been handed over to the police, who have launched a manhunt for the woman believed to be behind the abduction.

The Asante Akyem North Municipal Police Commander, ACP John Danquah, told Adom News that investigations are ongoing and assured the public that efforts are being intensified to locate both the suspect and the missing child.

Meanwhile, the distraught mother, who is said to be in a state of emotional distress, is receiving support and counseling at the hospital.

Police have appealed to the public to provide any information that could lead to the rescue of the baby and the arrest of the suspect.

According to Hilda Ninson, the mother of the triplets, she gave birth to her preterm babies at Akawe Government Hospital on August 3, 2024.

Due to the hospital’s lack of incubators, the staff, led by a nurse named Auntie Mercy, arranged for her triplets to be transferred to Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital the next day.

Hilda claims upon arriving at Korle-Bu, her husband was sent to buy some medicines.

While he was away, hospital staff informed him that one of the babies had died.

When he returned, he said the body shown to him allegedly appeared different from the other two surviving babies.

Hours later, they claim the hospital staff sent her husband to purchase more medicines and by the time he returned, he was told a second baby had also died.

On August 5, 2024, the couple said they received a call from the NICU department at Korle-Bu informing them that the third triplet had also passed away.

The distraught mother is convinced medical staff at Korle Bu have old her babies.

She cited a conversation she had with a Social Welfare worker at Akawe Hospital, who had asked her to give one of the babies away.

Also, her husband, Patrick Gyasi, claims to have overheard Auntie Mercy, a midwife at Akawe Hospital, discussing selling the babies because the couple was poor.

Patrick is calling for justice, alleging that the bodies shown to him were much older than his newborn triplets.

Meanwhile, Adom News contacted the management of Akawe Government Hospital, where officials confirmed that Hilda did give birth at their facility, and the babies were transferred to Korle-Bu due to a lack of incubators.

However, they said they were unaware of what transpired at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and could not comment on that.

Medical Director of Weija-Gbawe Municipal Hospital, Dr. David Kwabena Okoh, also confirmed the referral of the triplets to Korle-Bu but declined to comment on the events that followed after the transfer.

The couple is demanding answers and an investigation into the matter, as suspicions of foul play surround the deaths of their triplets.

Adom News is still working on getting a response from the Management of the Korle-Bu Teaching hospital on this matter.
