Kwesimintsim: An unfortunate incident has been reported at Kwesimintsim Zongo in Takoradi, where a newborn baby was discovered buried. The discovery was made around the 5 Gold Area, sparking alarm among residents who noticed unusual activity in the vicinity.
According to Ghana Web, a post shared by CDR Africa on X detailed that an eyewitness living in the area saw a man who noticed something strange on the ground. The man, residing in the house nearby, decided to investigate further by digging into the soil, initially suspecting the presence of witchcraft or 'juju' artifacts. However, his investigation led to the shocking discovery of a newborn baby instead.
The eyewitness reported that the baby was found wrapped in pampers and clothing, indicating that it had been deliberately buried. "We came to meet it. I live with a man who discovered this morning that someone had dug, thinking it was black magic (juju). But afterwards, we realised that it was a newborn baby who had not yet matured for the nine-month period. The baby was in pampers, wearing cloth and other things, which somebody buried here," the eyewitness recounted in Twi.
Video footage circulating on social media depicts the newborn lying in the hole where it was found. The authorities have been informed about the incident, and investigations are underway to identify those responsible and ensure that appropriate actions are taken.
