Reactions to Latifa Salifu bonding with child

The video has triggered fresh conversations across social media.

Some users say the clip raises questions about the motive behind the alleged crime, wondering why a woman who appears to have her own child would be linked to the disappearance of another person’s baby.

Others, however, have urged the public to avoid jumping to conclusions, stressing that a short video does not tell the full story.

There are also calls for restraint, with some Ghanaians reminding others that the matter is still under investigation.

They argue that while the footage may humanise the suspect in the eyes of some viewers, it does not change the seriousness of the allegations.

Check out some comments below:

Lhord Kvng Tromoshie commented:

"The one they arrested is not the actual criminal. Trust me, this woman has been paid to do what she's doing; that is why she came with the child. This woman here is innocent. These issues must be investigated thoroughly"
