The Savannah Regional Command of the Ghana Immigration Service has arrested a 34-year-old Nigerian man named Prince James for alleged human trafficking in an illegal mining community called Clooth in the Bole District of the Savannah Region. Law enforcement officials conducted a four-hour motorbike patrol to apprehend the suspect, who was allegedly part of a syndicate operating across the African sub-region.
The victim, also a Nigerian woman in her 20s, was lured to Ghana with promises of a nursing job but was instead forced into sex work by the trafficker, Prince James.
