Takoradi Woman Was Never Pregnant – Police
Police have said the Takoradi woman who supposedly went missing before she was found, Josephine Panyin Mensah, was never pregnant, as her family had claimed.
In a statement issued on Thursday, September 23, 2021, Police said a thorough medical examination by the medical doctors at the Axim Government Hospital revealed that the missing woman “was never pregnant within the period under review.”
Medical records at the Takoradi Hospital where she claimed to have gone for antenatal care also showed that she visited the facility without pregnancy in October last year.
The police conclusion comes after a similar assertion by the Western Regional Minister sparked controversy.
The Ghana Police Service said over 40 police officers were assigned to track the whereabouts of the victim, and the family were given regular updates on police operations regarding this issue.
