Two nannies working in East Legon have been arrested after it was discovered they had been giving sleeping pills to babies under their care for over seven months. According to reports, the nannies claimed the babies “did not like sleeping,” which prompted them to administer the medication repeatedly without the knowledge or consent of the children’s parents.
The prolonged use of these sleeping pills has reportedly caused the affected children to develop alarming behavioral issues. Some of the babies have been observed exhibiting strange traits, including hitting their heads against walls and other self-harming behaviors.
The incident has raised serious concerns about child safety and the trust placed in caregivers. Authorities have launched a full investigation into the matter to understand how the pills were obtained and administered, and to ensure the affected children receive proper medical attention and care.
Parents in the community have expressed shock and outrage, calling for stricter vetting and monitoring of caregivers to prevent similar incidents in the future.
