35-year-old mother allegedly sells newborn for GH¢300 in Western Region

Authorities in Nkotompo, a community in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis of the Western Region have launched an investigation into reports of a young mother allegedly selling her two-week-old baby for GH¢300, according to 3news.com report.

According to the report, the accused mother, identified as 35-year-old Mena Efua, reportedly handed over her newborn to an unknown individual who promised to secure a buyer.

Her elder sister, Maame Esi, is reported to have revealed this information during an interview with Nhyiraba Paa Kwesi Simpson, host of Connect FM’s Omanbapa Morning Show.

Maame Esi, who assisted in the baby’s delivery at home a few weeks ago, says the child’s sudden disappearance raised suspicions.

“I helped her deliver at home just last Monday, and now the baby is missing. When I confronted her, she admitted to giving the child to someone in exchange for GH¢300, but she’s refusing to disclose who the person is,” Maame Esi recounted.

Initially, Efua is said to have allegedly told her sister that a nurse had promised to help find a buyer for the baby.

However, she has since avoided providing any details about the nurse’s identity.

According to Maame Esi, Efua now claims the baby was taken to Accra but has been unable to give an exact location.

Desperate to locate the child, the family reported the incident to local authorities, leading to an investigation by the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Sekondi Police.
