A shocking incident occurred on February 17, 2026, at Mamprobi Polyclinic in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana, where a newborn baby boy was allegedly stolen shortly after the mother delivered him via cesarean section (C-section).
According to reports from sources like GhanaWeb and circulating social media posts (including videos from witnesses), a woman reportedly dressed as a nurse entered the facility and took the infant without immediate resistance.
Tension escalated as family members and residents stormed the clinic demanding answers, confronting staff amid claims that security measures failed.
CCTV footage reportedly captured the suspect fleeing the premises, possibly with the baby, and some accounts mention the thief escaping on a waiting motorbike. Images and videos of the alleged perpetrator have been shared online to aid identification, with calls for the public to assist in locating the baby and suspect.
Police have been alerted and an investigation is underway, though specific updates on the baby’s recovery or arrests were not confirmed in the latest available reports as of February 18, 2026.This is a developing story, and such cases highlight ongoing concerns about security in some healthcare facilities in Ghana, with similar incidents reported in recent months (e.g., in Tamale and Agogo). Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the police immediately.
