Gabugya Simon, father of a missing newborn at the Salaga Municipal Hospital, has alleged that he received information suggesting the baby may have been sold.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Simon said he was informed by unnamed sources within the hospital that the newborn had been involved in an alleged illegal transaction.
“We heard from our sources in the hospital that they have sold the baby for a huge amount of money,” he claimed.
He further alleged that the baby is still believed to be within the hospital premises, but those allegedly involved in identifying the child are not currently available.
“They said the money involved is huge, and the baby is still in the hospital, but the person who is supposed to identify the baby is not around,” he added.
Mr. Simon insisted that he was later told the baby had been sold but had not yet been handed over to the alleged buyer.
“They told us the baby has been sold but has not yet been given to the person buying it, so the baby is still somewhere in the hospital,” he said.
The allegations come amid growing anxiety within the family, who say they are devastated by the disappearance and are demanding answers from hospital authorities.
The Salaga incident adds to a series of similar cases reported across the country in recent years, raising concerns about security and oversight in maternity and postnatal wards.
In June 2024, a week-old baby reportedly disappeared from the Zebilla District Hospital in the Upper East Region, prompting investigations and renewed calls for stronger infant protection protocols in health facilities.
