Man pretends to be mad after he was caught trying to steal a child

Man pretends to be mad after he was caught trying to steal a child: In a shocking incident that unfolded in Pokuase, a young man found himself in a dire situation when he was caught attempting to steala 2-year-old child. This brazen attempt at kidnapping could have ended in tragedy, but fate had other plans.

The identity of the man involved in this incident remains undisclosed as of now, but the details of his actions have left the community in shock. According to sources, he targeted the baby in Pokuase, a town in Ghana.

Luck, however, did not favor the would-be kidnapper on this day. Alert members of the community spotted him in the act, and this was when his desperate bid to escape the consequences began.

As he faced questioning from the concerned onlookers, the man resorted to an unusual tactic to avoid apprehension. He began quoting passages from the Bible and adopted a persona of apparent mental instability. It was a bizarre and desperate attempt to evade the grasp of justice.
