A Kpando Circuit Court has sentenced a 31-year-old woman to three years' imprisonment for abducting an eight-month-old baby at Kpando Market in the Volta Region.
The convict, Stella Amedzorme, pleaded guilty to the offence after she was arrested by the Volta North Regional Police Command, which also rescued the child unharmed less than 24 hours after the abduction.
According to the police, the incident occurred on July 17, when the baby's 21-year-old mother, Gloria Xagbe, briefly left her son in Amedzorme's care while she went to buy packaging bags at the market.
