Takoradi missing pregnant woman

Mr Azuri’s comment, GhanaPlus.com believes stem from reactions following a statement released by the Ghana Police Service about the missing but found woman in Takoradi who was supposedly pregnant at the time of his disappearance but was not when found.

Ms Josephine Panyin Mensah, 28years old and heavily pregnant was reported missing on Friday, September 17 by her husband Michael Simmons, after a search for her the previous day proved futile.

She was reported to have left home on Thursday, September 16, dawn for a walk but never returned.

She was however, reported found in Axim, and also without the pregnancy on Wednesday, September 22, days after her husband told the police his mother-in-law had had a call from an unknown person demanding a ransom.

However, a statement from the Ghana Police Service and signed by Acting Director–General, Public Affairs, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ASP), Kwesi Ofori said findings of preliminary investigations had revealed she was never pregnant and had since declared her a suspect in the case.

The development many had said was the first of its kind.
