A mechanic in Prampram, Abdulai Kadiri, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his 9-month-old baby girl. The child died after being administered a corrosive substance believed to be acid.
Background to the Incident
Kadiri had been in a relationship with the baby’s mother, Doris Amatey, since 2020. When Doris became pregnant, Kadiri asked her to have an abortion, which she refused. Despite his initial reluctance, Kadiri provided financial support for the pregnancy and even sent money and suggested a name for the baby after she was born.
The Incident
Tragedy struck when Kadiri unexpectedly visited the baby and allegedly fed her the corrosive substance. The baby’s mother discovered her child in distress and rushed her to the hospital, where she later died.
Aftermath and Sentence
Kadiri’s actions led to the baby’s death, and he was subsequently arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment [1].
