DSP Peter Ofori Donkor said, the Police had information about the incident around 3:00 pm on that fateful day and quickly dispatched men to the said house to rescue the victim.
He was subsequently taken to the hospital where he was admitted but discharged the next day.
According to him, the victim was handed over to his biological mother while the three suspects were arrested and put before court on Monday, July, 5, where they were granted bail to reappear before the court on Thursday, July 8, 2021.
