Abdulai Zalia, a 27-year-old woman from Nalerigu, has been arrested by the West Mamprusi Police Command for the alleged abduction of a 13-month-old infant in Walewale, North East Region.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, April 18, 2024, while the child’s mother was asleep in an open area of their home.
