The West Ada District Chief Executive (DCE) has clarified that a group of school children intercepted in the Volta Region were not victims of child trafficking, but were traveling to spend their vacation with their parents. The children, who lived with their extended family in the West Ada Districts and Ningo-Prampram Municipality, were returning from school to reunite with their parents for the holidays.
The vehicle carrying the children was intercepted by security agencies after a passenger reported that the children were being trafficked to the Afram Plains. The DCE emphasized that preliminary information suggested the children were traveling to join their parents, not for exploitative labor. Investigations into the incident are ongoing to establish the facts and determine if any offenses under Ghana's anti-human trafficking laws were committed.
