Five days after, she was found at Axim in the Nzema East District by a carpenter who explained that:

"She was lying on the floor. I approached her and asked a few questions, but there was no response.

"She was only using her hand to make gestures but could not speak. I realized she was not a mentally challenged person."

Western Regional Minister disputes pregnancy claims

Less than twenty-four hours after Josephine was found, the regional minister claimed that she was never pregnant.

In an interview the regional minister had with Angel FM, he stated that initial investigations by the BNI indicated the story of the kidnapping was fake.

The minister claimed the medical exams conducted on Josephine when she was found at the Axim Government Hospital showed she was never pregnant as has been reported.
