Police Engage Transport Operators in Anti-Trafficking Effort
The Ghana Police Service has engaged executives of the Nigeria Transport Association in Ghana to strengthen collaboration in the fight against human trafficking. The meeting, led by CID Director General COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, aimed to enhance stakeholder partnerships and preventive measures against the crime.
According to Joy News, COP Donkor emphasized the critical role transport operators play in detecting and reporting suspicious movements, noting that traffickers often exploit transport networks to move victims across borders. She urged members to remain vigilant and proactive in identifying and reporting suspicious activities.
The Deputy Director General of CID, DCOP Solomon Ayawine Aboninga, sensitized participants on key indicators of human trafficking. The Director of the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit, DSP William Ayaregah, called for prompt reporting of suspected cases for swift action.
“We are counting on your cooperation to help reduce human trafficking activities,” COP Donkor said. The Deputy Secretary of the Association, Mr. Prince Rotimi Adeye, assured the CID administration of its full cooperation, pledging to work closely with the Ghana Police Service.
The engagement forms part of ongoing efforts by the police to combat human trafficking. Transport operators are being encouraged to report suspicious activities to support law enforcement efforts.
The collaboration is expected to enhance the fight against human trafficking in Ghana and the sub-region.
