Hospital management, in conjunction with law enforcement agencies including the Police and the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), have been working to locate the child since the disappearance.
The Sierra Leone Nurses Association (SLNA) and the Sierra Leone Medical and Dental Association (SLMA), in collaboration with the hospital, have issued an appeal to the public for credible information. A reward of 100,000 New Leones (equivalent to 100 million Old Leones) will be given to the first person who provides a tip leading to the baby’s safe recovery.
