Per a report by Daily Guide, the joint operation has consequently led to the arrest of a mother of one of the babies involved in the illicit trade for further interrogations.
The woman (named withheld for investigation purposes) per the report, was traced to Nkawkaw in the Eastern Region and brought to Accra to give her statement last Wednesday.

On January 20, the EOCO and the MDC announced at a joint news conference that they have apprehended eleven persons - two medical doctors, four nurses and four others - over alleged involvement ih baby harvesting and human trafficking at some health centres in Accra.
They identified the doctors as Dr. Hope Mensah Quarshie of the 37 Military Hospital in Accra and Dr. Noah Kofi Lartey of the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Ridge, Accra.
The nurses were also identified as Sylvia Awuseh, John Adorey Effie, Angela Ametepe and Stella Deli.
Similarly, Leonard Agbley and Doris Badu, both social workers, as well as Dede Gifty Anikpi, a traditional birth attendant from Bethlehem Maternity at Santoe, a suburb of Kpone Katamanso, were arrested.
A lady called Nancy Obaa Yaa believed to be a mother of one of the babies was also in trouble and was also picked up late last year.
Two of the babies, a four months old and another under one month, whose ‘harvesting’ triggered the EOCO and MDC investigation, were currently safe in the custody of the authorities.
