Dome, Accra – The foul stench emanating from a house at Ayigbe Town, an area within Dome Kwabenya in the Ga East district of the Greater Accra Region, and the apparent absence of an 86-year-old woman, Abraa Mansa, is raising eyebrows.
The police have moved in to cordon the house as a crime scene, and have mounted a search for a son of the woman, identified as Benjamin Kofi Yeboah, who is reported to have packed bag and baggage and told neighbours he was leaving the area.
Yeboah is reported to be a regular beater of his mother, who until recently was a popular banku seller, with whom he frequently quarrels. So frequent were their quarrels that neighbours no longer paid attention when it happened.

A 54-year-old female caregiver, Clara Ayani-Ampah has been arrested by the police over the torturous handling of an eleven-month-old baby in her care which allegedly led to the death of the child.
Ampah was arrested after a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera installed in the room exposed the dastardly act, following a complaint the parents of the baby girl lodged over the death of the child.
In the video shared online, the lady could be seen coercively striving to push what looked like a liquid-based food substance down the throat of the frail baby.
The caregiver who was not perturbed by the cries of the innocent child and her visible attempts in gasping for breath, pushed the fragile baby-hands of her victim behind her back all in her endeavour to push food down the throat of the frail baby.
