Ghanaian woman hunts Chinese ‘galamsey’ lover who is on the run after impregnating her

According to Selina, she met Leon years ago in Bekwai while the later was engaging in illegal mining, popularly called galamsey.

The two developed a romantic relationship and during that period, she claims Leon frequently supported her financially.

“My issue is that some Chinese people came to Abodom, Asante Bekwai, for galamsey. I had a relationship with one of them called Leon. When they were leaving, I didn’t know I was pregnant,” she narrated.

Appearing on Nyira FM’s social programme, Selina explained that Leon had promised to be with her and this caused her to trust and become intimate with him.

“He told me he loved me. He used to give me 1,000 cedis a week or sometimes 500 cedis every three days,” she recounted.

Selina said she only discovered her pregnancy two months after Leon and his colleagues had left Bekwai.

Upon contacting him and breaking the news of her pregnancy to him, Leon initially expressed happiness but his attitude later changed.

“I called to inform him I was pregnant and he said he liked it but I don’t know what people told him; he started avoiding me and eventually blacklisted me,” she said.

In her frustration, Selina sought Leon out and reported the matter to the police, leading to his arrest.

But according to her, the police released him shortly after.

“Leon was good to me while we were together but now I’m struggling to take care of the child alone. I don’t know where he is,” she said.

Selina is now appealing to the public and authorities to help her locate Leon as she faces difficulties raising the child alone.
