Theresa Asamoah, 45, was sentenced to six years in prison with hard labour by the Kumasi Circuit Court for her role in a baby theft incident at the Kumasi South Hospital.
Priscilla Appiah, her 21-year-old daughter, who has pleaded not guilty, has been granted GHS100,000 bail with three sureties who must be justified.
According to the police, on June 10, 2019, Theresa Asamoah and Priscilla Appiah deceived a nursing mother who had just given birth at the hospital and took her baby away.
According to the police, the woman who had just given birth migrated from Nandom and was staying with Theresa Asamoah and her daughter, who had pretended to be pregnant to her husband at the time.

Priscilla Appiah then took the baby home and informed her husband that she had given birth, while the head porter, Sylvia Pime, was told that her baby died shortly after she gave birth and was sacked from the house, according to the prosecutor Inspector Oparebea.
According to the prosecutor, Sylvia Pime returned to her hometown of Nandom after receiving the news, only to return to Kumasi two years later to discover that her baby was still alive.
