Man narrates how alleged theft incident occurred

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a young Ghanaian man, believed to be a relative of the victim in the alleged baby theft incident at the Mamprobi Polyclinic, had recounted how he thinks the unfortunate incident may have occurred.

The visibly emotional young man claimed that the suspected 'baby thief' had been able to gain access to the maternity ward of the Mamprobi Polyclinic, unchallenged because there were no security personnel stationed at the entrance of the health facility at the time.

He further alleged that a security camera installed to monitor activities at the entrance of the ward was not functioning and therefore proved useless when footage was needed to help identify the suspected thief.
