The Ghana Immigration Service has made a significant breakthrough in its fight against human trafficking, rescuing 305 West African nationals, including 113 children, in a targeted operation against organised street-begging networks. According to #Peacefm, the operation, which was intelligence-led, aimed to dismantle networks exploiting vulnerable foreign nationals in the Greater Accra Region.
The rescued individuals, comprising 192 adults and 113 children, were found in various locations, including vehicles and markets, and have been taken into custody for processing and repatriation. The Ghana Immigration Service has been working closely with other agencies to address the issue of human trafficking and protect vulnerable individuals.
The operation is part of a broader effort to combat human trafficking and related crimes in Ghana. The Ghana Immigration Service has been intensifying its efforts to identify and disrupt trafficking networks, and has called on the public to report suspicious activities.
The rescued individuals are receiving support and care, and efforts are underway to reunite them with their families. The Ghana Immigration Service has reiterated its commitment to protecting the rights of vulnerable individuals and combating human trafficking.
The success of the operation is a testament to the effectiveness of collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the public in fighting human trafficking.
