The police at Akatsi in the Volta Region have received a month-old baby girl who was abandoned in the porch of a building near the Mighty Destiny Glorified Ministry Church at Akatsi Tatorme.

The baby was found at about 0530 hours Monday in the building believed to be a shop along the Xavi-Anta Estate Road by two women who were going to damp refuse.
