Woman jailed 3 years for abducting 8-month-old baby
A 31-year-old woman, Stella Amedzorme, has been sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for abducting an eight-month-old baby at the Kpando Market in the Volta Region.
Amedzorme was convicted after pleading guilty to the offence before the Kpando Circuit Court, following her arrest and the safe rescue of the baby in the Oti Region.
The case was reported to the Police on July 17, 2026, after the baby’s mother, Gloria Xagbe, 21, said she had briefly left her son in the care of Amedzorme, a fellow market trader, while she went to purchase packaging bags.
