A woman identified as Emafya narrowly escaped lynching in Mankessim, located in the Mfantseman Municipality of the Central Region, after being accused of attempting to kidnap a one-and-a-half-year-old baby girl.
According to Madam Azuma Alhassan, the child's grandmother, the incident occurred when the baby was left in the care of her younger brother, Kojo Junior, who was playing nearby.
Junior reportedly left the child with Emafya while he went to retrieve a ball.
Upon his return, both Emafya and the baby were nowhere to be found.
