A 10-month-old baby girl was rescued in a bush in Ghana after she was buried alive by her mother.
According to reports, the baby girl is battling for her life in a hospital after her mother buried her in a forest at Krobo-akye near Senya Breku in the Central region of Ghana.
According to witnesses who spoke with Adom News, they heard cries and followed the sound only to find the baby girl buried in a makeshift grave in the bush. One of the residents, Yaa Grace said they quickly alerted the police leading to her rescue.
The Senya Breku District Police Commander, DSP Matthew Boamponsem said the baby was dehydrated so they rushed her to the hospital for medical attention.
