Accra, March 1, GNA – A 27-year-old Nigerian trader on
Tuesday appeared before a Circuit Court in Accra for allegedly
exposing her one-year-old child to danger. Uche Nagani pleaded not guilty and was remanded
in police custody while the child is in the custody of the police. She would re-appear on March 9. Nagani wearing a short dress and unkempt hair, told
the court that she had information that her Nigerian boyfriend
was flirting with other women and therefore visited a hotel
frequently used by her boyfriend to look for him. The Police informed the court that this was the third time
the accused had committed the offence therefore, the court
asked the police to assist her with counselling. Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sarah Acquah
prosecuting, said Nagani lived at Kasoa Buduburam. On February 1, this year, at about 23:00 hours, Nagani left
her baby in the care of one Achiama, her friend at the Kwame
Nkrumah Circle, Accra, to look for her boyfriend at the hotel. ASP Acquah said Achiama reported the case to the Police
and Nagani was picked up at dawn. She said Nagani had signed two undertakings at the
Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) to
desist from exposing her child to danger. 1
