Police have said the Takoradi woman who supposedly went missing before she was found, Josephine Panyin Mensah, was never pregnant, as her family had claimed.
In a statement issued on Thursday, September 23, 2021, Police said a thorough medical examination by the medical doctors at the Axim Government Hospital revealed that the missing woman “was never pregnant within the period under review.”
Following this development, police are now treating the woman as a suspect in the case.
She was reported missing after she was said to have left home on Thursday dawn, September 16, for a walk but did not return.
Three people have also been arrested for further questioning on possible conspiracy charges following this development.
According to police, Josephine said she attended the European Hospital in Takoradi for the antenatal reviews and assessment.
But Medical records at the facility suggest that the lady visited the hospital without pregnancy somewhere in October 2021.
The police conclusion comes after a similar assertion by the Western Regional Minister sparked controversy.
The Ghana Police Service said over 40 police officers were assigned to track the whereabouts of the victim, and the family were given regular updates on police operations regarding this issue.
The police also raised concern with the incidence of staged kidnappings in the Western Region “where people conspire to create “self-kidnapping” incidents to make money out of ransoms.”
“A team with support from the National Headquarters has been put together to quell this emerging crime in the Western Region.”
