The robbers threatened to kill the baby if the parents didn’t pay what they were demanding
A one-month-old baby was nearly divided into two by armed robbers who were demanding money from his parents.
The robbers who stormed Kasoa Peace Town in the Central region had robbed tenants in the area and got to the room of a driver’s mate, wife, and their baby.
According to the distraught mother, one of the robbers took the baby when he did not get any valuable thing in the room to steal.
“He then held the [baby] upside down and pointed a machete toward the baby, threatened to kill the baby if we don’t give him money”.
The fear stricken father then looked into his pocket and found only 15 cedis and handed over to the robbers just to save his baby’s life.
