The Mankessim Circuit Court has ordered a mental evaluation of a 40-year-old woman, Rebecca Ofori accused of stealing an 11-year-old baby at the Ajumako Market Centre.
The court, presided over by Justice Gloria Naa Bortoh Laryea, has sent the accused to the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital for expert evaluation before proceeding with the case.
The decision comes after concerns were raised about Ofori's mental stability, with some family members alleging she had previously exhibited erratic behavior, including threatening her 70-year-old mother with a machete.
The case has been adjourned to July 29, 2025.
