In a video on X, Felicia Obenewaa Antwi said that after the doctor attended to her, she met a young lady at the hospital who started a conversation. During the brief chat, she learnt that the lady had lost her baby.
“I met a woman who said she loved seeing newborn babies because hers had died shortly after birth. I assured her that God would give her another child. At one point, I felt like urinating, so I asked her to hold my baby for me. But when I returned, she was not there. So I asked others around, and they confirmed that they saw her leave with the baby.”
The witnesses at the hospital claimed they saw the unidentified woman leave the hospital premises calmly with the baby in her arms.
A visibly distraught Felician pleaded with the public to help her find her missing child. The case has, however, been reported to the police in the area.

“She won’t hand her phone to a complete stranger to do anything, so why did she think she could hand her baby to a complete stranger? Critical thinking and situation awareness should be taught as a basic subject in schools.”
