Three suspects have been arrested in the Upper East Region for allegedly trafficking young women and forcing them into prostitution at Gbane in the Talensi District.
According to the police, four victims, aged between 18 and 20, were rescued during an operation targeting the suspected trafficking network.
Investigators revealed that one of the victims, a Nigerian national, was allegedly lured into Ghana with the false promise of pursuing a career in the country’s movie industry.
Police further allege that the suspects attempted to sell the victim’s newborn baby for GH₵20,000.
The three suspects remain in police custody and are expected to appear before court to face charges.
Police say investigations are ongoing as efforts continue to combat human trafficking and protect vulnerable persons from exploitation.
