Chipoye is said to have been tricked into handing over the baby by the woman who is believed to be from neighbouring Zimbabwe. The woman instantly vanished with the child. The incident happened at Nswazwi Mall.

We are clueless as of now,” Francistown Police station commander, Lebalang Maniki told The Monitor on Friday, a week after the incident took place.
