Another witness identified as Yaw Kum, who alerted the Police, added: “It was around 3.30pm when the child’s father sent two boys that he was searching for someone to buy his two-year-old child. The boys were baffled when he told them that. So the boys came to tell me and I told them, I’ll buy the child myself, they should go and bring the father.

“The father came with the child and we agreed on the price to buy the child, so I told him I have this Alhaji I do business with, ‘so let me inform Alhaji’. I called the CID to come. He waited with the child for Alhaji till about 7 to 7.30pm.

“The Alhaji finally showed up with a briefcase containing the money. When they came, they bargained with him and agreed on GHS20,000. He handed over the child to them indicating it is his own child. As soon as they handed over the money to him, they told him they were from the Police.”
