He stated that the minor’s father had abandoned him three years prior and had not returned.

He was later placed in the care of the grandmother, but they are both fed up and have asked the boy to leave.

Meanwhile, the case was reported to the police, who reportedly contributed Ghc50 to buy medicine for the boy because he was sick.
