Nurse sets record straight on baby's health in Abofrem pastor case

Senior Nursing Officer Morkoa-Chie Edjah confirmed that the five-month-old baby at the centre of the alleged Abofrem burial case is responding to treatment. She dismissed claims circulating that the child is an "imbecile" or a "water baby," describing such assertions as unfounded. She explained that the baby is in stable condition, with only minor bruises around the neck, and is responding positively to treatment.

The baby was rescued and rushed to the Bibiani Municipal Hospital after an incident reported at Abofrem, where the infant was allegedly buried alive by a pastor and accomplices under the guise of spiritual intervention. The suspects - including the child's mother, a pastor, and another individual - were handed over to the police.

Bibiani District Coordinator Evelyn Yitamkey confirmed that the three suspects are in police custody assisting with investigations. She also called on the public to report cases of abuse and domestic violence early to help protect vulnerable individuals, especially children.
