Earlier this week, several reports in the local media reported on the alleged arrest and detainment of an 18-month-old baby at Adidome in the Volta region.
The baby was reported to have attempted to poison her uncle’s son, who is five years old.

The story caused great shock among Ghanaians, with many taking to social media to wonder how a girl of that age could conceive such a plan, let alone execute it.
However, responding to the issue, the Ghana Police Service has denied reports that the law enforcement agency has detained an 18-month-old baby.
In a press statement, the Police said their information shows that on 26 March 2018, one Kuma Lawrencia of Adidome came to the station with her 14-year-old daughter and reported an assault case against Judith Yevuyibor, mother of an 18-month-old girl, for having assaulted the 14-year-old girl.

“It should be noted that Judith Yevuyibor the mother of [the] 18 months [girl] went together with her daughter but none of them were detained,” the statement said.
