The Northern Regional police command has launched investigations into the alleged theft of a newborn baby at One Heart Hospital in Lamashegu, a suburb of Tamale.
The report says the Northern Regional Police Command has picked up two nurses and a security guard who were on duty at the time of the incident to assist with investigations.
According to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU), a complaint was lodged on Sunday, December 21, 2025, at about 10:30 am., reporting that a newborn baby boy had gone missing from the hospital’s labour ward.
Preliminary investigations indicate that an unknown woman, believed to have posed as a nurse, entered the ward and allegedly took the baby under the pretext of administering an injection.
The suspects have been identified as Abubakari Fatima Bintu and Grace Asiedu Mensah, both nurses, and Abukari Iddi, the security guard on duty at the time.
Police say intelligence-led operations are ongoing to trace the missing baby and arrest any other persons connected to the incident.
The Command has assured the public of its commitment to uncovering the truth and reuniting the baby with the family, as investigations continue.
