The five weeks old baby who was taken from her mother on Saturday in Lamin by a stranger has been found, its father has said.
A woman wearing a veil on Saturday spents hours with new mother Amie Secka helping her with her twin babies – Ousainou and Assan. She later disappeared with Ousainou after sending away Amie’s mother who was with her by telling her she wanted to drink some water.
Ousainou was taken to the police station Sunday morning by the woman’s husband after he returned from a trip and found his wife with a new baby, the baby’s father Modou Conteh told The Fatu Network.
“The woman’s husband is a trucker and travelling all the time. He returned and found the baby with his wife but the baby kept crying in the hands of the woman and stops crying when the husband holds it.
“Someone who is close to my family happens to know the woman’s husband. He called the husband and told him a baby was stolen. It’s said the woman was pregnant but the suspicious husband decided to take the baby to the police station,” he said.
