Baby dumped in bush at Ejura, rituals performed

Residents of Ejura-Kolimay in the Ashanti region were Thursday thrown into a state of shock when they discovered that a fetus had been aborted in a bush.

The unfortunate incident drew a huge crowd to the scene to witness the lifeless body of the baby.

A witness, Samuel Kwame Anokye, who narrated the scene to Abusua FM’s Osei Kwadwo, recounted that “I heard noise from two children who were going to farm in the morning. I rushed there and I saw a lifeless baby boy. I got close only to find out that someone had dropped a dead baby into the bush.”

According to Mr Anokye, the baby, must be about seven months when it was aborted by an unknown mother.

“I personally called the police to convey the body but due to the situation the Police instructed that it be buried,” he said.
