A pastor has been arrested at Abofrem in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region over an alleged attempt to bury a five-month-old baby alive.
The suspect, Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, who is the Head Pastor of Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, was detained on Tuesday night following the incident.
Eyewitnesses say he was spotted at a refuse dump around 11pm together with another person, acting suspiciously while carrying the infant.
A witness, Winfred Agbah, said he intervened after noticing unusual movement at the site and moved closer to find out what was happening.
He said he discovered the baby was still alive and appeared to be on the verge of being buried. The witness raised an alarm, leading to the arrest of the suspect.
Police say investigations are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
