The Tamale Circuit Court has granted bail to two nurses linked to the mysterious disappearance of a newborn baby at the Salaga Government Hospital. The accused, who face charges of conspiracy and abduction, were each granted bail in the sum of GH¢150,000 with two sureties. The case has triggered significant public outcry and heightened concerns regarding the safety of infants within public health facilities in the Savannah Region.
The disappearance of the infant has left the mother severely traumatized and the local community in Salaga demanding answers. According to hospital officials, the facility is fully cooperating with the Ghana Police Service as investigations continue into how the child could vanish from a government-run institution. While the hospital administrator has pledged transparency, no information regarding the baby's current whereabouts has been confirmed, leaving the family in a state of profound distress.
Legal proceedings are set to continue as the court has scheduled the next appearance for July 9, 2026. This timeline suggests a protracted legal battle as authorities work to uncover the full extent of the alleged conspiracy. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the need for improved security protocols in maternity wards across the country, as residents and human rights advocates continue to call for justice for the affected family.
