A wave of shock and anger has gripped Abofremu after police arrested a pastor and two others in connection with an alleged attempt to bury a six-month-old baby alive.
The suspects include Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, founder of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour’s Camp, who was arrested alongside two alleged accomplices identified as Akwasi Ny3si3 Donkor and Sister Ama.
According to reports, residents became suspicious after noticing unusual behaviour by the group, prompting them to alert authorities. Police intervention led to the rescue of the infant, who was found in distress.
A local resident, Akwasi Twezor, is said to have played a crucial role in drawing attention to the incident, helping to prevent what could have been a tragic outcome.
The motive behind the alleged act has not yet been established as investigations continue under the Ghana Police Service.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage in the community, with residents demanding swift justice and stronger protection for children.
Traditional leaders have also condemned the act. Speaking for the Abofremu Traditional Council, Nana Yaw Badu described the situation as deeply disturbing and urged investigators to ensure a thorough probe.
The suspects remain in police custody assisting with investigations and are expected to face formal charges as the case progresses.
