W/R: Regional Minister demands found pregnant woman and husband to be investigated
Mrs. Josephine Mensah
The Western Regional Minister, Hon Paul Evans Aidoo has explained that a preliminary observation by a doctor on the missing 9-month old pregnant woman has shown that she was never pregnant.
Fear, apprehension, and anxiety gripped the family of 28-year-old pregnant Josephine Attaa Panyin Mensah who is reported to have gone missing on Thursday, September 16, 2021, in the Western Region’s city of Takoradi.
She was found on Axim on Tuesday, September 21, 2021. 
Subsequently, the Regional Minister has asked the police to investigate the husband and the woman.

The victim’s husband Michael Simons told Soireenews that his wife currently lives with her mother due to her situation. Mrs.Josephine went on a morning walk from the Amanoo road to the Paa Grant Roundabout area all in Takoradi as part of her routine exercise however Josephine did not return home.

Michael explained that Josephine’s mother became alarmed and quickly notified him.

According to the husband, he thought his wife might have been rushed to a health facility for delivery so he and other family members started combing small and major health facilities with the hope of finding his wife but that has not been fruitful as he and other search parties are yet to set their eyes her.

He further added that at about 11 am the same day September 16,  his mother-in-law received a call from some strange persons demanding ransom before they could release her pregnant daughter.

Mr Simons said the demand from the suspects, who, both he and his mother-in-law could not readily identify prompted them to quickly report the case to the Takoradi police.
