The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested a 20-year-old vegetable farmer for not reporting to the police the death of his five-month old baby boy whom he buried on the same day of his death. Isui Iddrisu is in police custody to assist in further investigations. Recounting the incident to newsmen in Kumasi on Monday Inspector Yussif Mohammed Tanko, Head of the Public Relations Unit of the Command, said Iddrisu last year impregnated a 17-year-old girl at Awayem, a suburb of Mampong, in the Ashanti Region where both lived. He said though the suspect denied the pregnancy initially, he later accepted the baby boy when he was born and even invited Akosua Konadu, mother of the baby, to his house to cook for his five visitors when the baby was five months old. Inspector Tanko said both mother and baby stayed for five days and on the sixth day, which was September 7, Iddrisu asked Akosua to sweep his compound whilst he looked after the baby in the room. When the woman went back to the room a few minutes later she found her baby dead and she then requested that the matter be reported to the police but Iddrisu resisted and went ahead to bury the baby with the connivance of his five visitors. Konadu informed her mother, Madam Akua Ampofowaah, who in turn reported the case to the Mampong Police leading to the arrest of the six the next day. The Police have exhumed the body of the baby awaiting autopsy. Police has granted police enquiry bail to suspects namely; Mohammed Iddrisu, 21, Shaibu Iddrisu, 24, Salamin Yara, 58, Issah Musah, 46 and Seidu Yara, 48. Source: GNA
