A disturbing incident in Sekondi has shocked the community, as reports emerge that a mother allegedly sold her two-week-old baby for GHC300. The incident was uncovered following a tip-off to local authorities, who quickly intervened. The mother has since been taken into custody for questioning as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the alleged sale.
The case has sparked public outrage and raised concerns about the socio-economic challenges that might lead a mother to take such drastic measures. Many have called for support systems to assist vulnerable families and prevent similar cases in the future. Authorities are also investigating whether others were involved in the transaction.
Community leaders and social welfare advocates are urging for more resources and counseling services to support struggling parents, especially young mothers. This incident has highlighted the need for a deeper understanding of poverty and its impact on family dynamics in Ghana.
