He reveal chilling details of how his wife faked a pregnancy and presented the stolen child as her own.
According to police sources, Rebecca, 40, informed her husband several months ago that she was four months pregnant and needed to relocate temporarily to her mother’s home in Enyan Abaasa to prepare for the birth.
She is reported to have later returned to their home in Tarkwa Benso in the Western Region with a baby girl, claiming to have delivered safely.
However, the plot began to unfold when the baby, unfamiliar with her surroundings and caregivers, reportedly cried uncontrollably for two consecutive days.
This persistent distress, coupled with inconsistencies in Rebecca’s story, triggered the husband’s suspicions.
He told police that without alerting his wife, began making quiet inquiries in her hometown.
It was during this personal investigation that he stumbled upon news reports about a baby who had recently been stolen from Ajumako Market.
Upon confirming his fears, he promptly reached out to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ajumako District Police Command and provided them with crucial information that led to Rebecca’s arrest.
Police later confirmed that the woman and baby matched those captured on CCTV.
Rebecca Ofori is currently in custody along with the baby at the Ajumako Police Command as investigations continue.
Police say they are working to reunite the child with her biological parents while psychological support is being arranged.
