Abducted Ghanaian Baby Found

An 18-month-old Ghanaian baby girl who was abducted from a London police station by a mystery woman at the weekend has been found safe and well.

The toddler, Audrey Nyanor, was taken into care by the police after her mother, Cynthia Boakye, 36, was arrested for alleged immigration offences.

However, another woman turned up at the Walworth Police Station and outwitted officers there by introducing herself as a friend of the little girl’s mother’s who had been sent to come for her.

According to the police, the details the impostor gave corresponded with the identity of the woman that Audrey’s mother had given them as the woman who would come for the baby.

It was later that the officers realised that the woman was an impostor. Images of the woman at the police station and also at the Elephant and Castle tube station where she was seen carrying the girl were then circulated publicly before the police mounted a search for Audrey.

The little girl was found at a house at Harlesden, north-west London, on Sunday. The woman and six other people are helping the police in their investigations.

The police did not give details of the suspects at the time of filing this report. The girl’s grandmother, Agatha Owusuah, appeared on SKY TV in London on Sunday evening and said Audrey’s safe return was a “very big Christmas present”.
