A young orange seller believed to be about 18 years of age was left completely shocked and devastated when she woke up from a ‘drug induced sleep’ to realise that her three months old baby was missing.

The incident happened on Monday afternoon at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange in Accra when a man offered her some tramadol after she had finished selling for the day.

According to her, she suddendly felt drowsy after taking the drug and when she regained conciousness she realised that her baby boy who was strapped on her back was no where to be found.

Other sources who spoke to The Spectator, said the young lady sold oranges and was sometimes seen with a certain young man, who carried the baby on his shoulders, while they went round selling the fruits.

However, on Tuesday morning, she was seen crying, looking unkempt and walking around, without her baby and when she was questioned by a toasted yam seller near the SSNIT offices by the Awudome cemetery who knew her she explained that, a certain young man gave her tramadol and she took, after which the man asked her to give him the baby so he could go and buy food for him, which she obliged, but minutes later, she felt dizzy and was unconscious.

After regaining her consciousness, she could not find the man or her baby anywhere. The incident has however not been reported yet to the police.

At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.

Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
