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

On Thursday, September 23, the Ghana Police Service affirmed the Western Regional Minister's claim that Josephine was never pregnant.

In a statement, the police revealed that they suspected the whole kidnap incident was staged and thus declared the 'victim' a suspect.

The information released by the police has led to many doubting the story of Josephine's pregnancy and kidnapping.

Speaking in an interview with newsmen, the sister of Josephine swore she was indeed pregnant.

Almost driven to tears, the sister disclosed that Josephine went for a walk on the fateful day she was kidnapped.

While going for her walk, the lady added, Josephine suspected that she could go into labour and thus picked her antenatal book and NHIS card.
