The nursing mother herself, out of fright, screamed saying 'Jesus, maku me ba no' (Jesus, I’ve killed my child) in the presence of Obrempong who then questioned his mother about why she almost killed his brother?

While the woman focused her attention on bathing her baby after rescuing him from the water basin, little did she know that unhappy Obrempong had walked out of the house to a nearby police station to report the matter.

Being alarmed, the police officers rushed with the little boy to his house where they met his mother to question her before revealing to her that it was her son that had come to report her to them.

The officers then took photos of her and the baby in question as well as the complainant before asking her to report to the police station with her husband when he returns.

Interestingly, before the officers left, Obrempong posed with his two fingers to take a photo with them.
