The
Weija District Command of the Ghana Police Service has arrested 41 Nigerian
prostitutes, as well as 14 male clients.
According
to online Ghanian newspaper, ghanaweb.com, the prostitutes were arrested around
a place called Choice, where several pubs operate at night.
Chief
Inspector Diana Tei Eninful, who led the arrest, said the police had received
several reports from residents of the area about the nuisance activities of the
prostitutes.
The
residents also lamented that the prostitutes had turned the vicinity into a
haven for drug peddlers and armed robbers.
Based
on the complaints, Eninful said the the police laid surveillance and
subsequently arrested 41 prostitutes, most of whom were between 18 and 25
years.
She
said the prostitutes sometimes intentionally hoot at and accuse passersby of
refusing to pay them after allegedly having enjoyed their coital services, and
so pounce on such clients with the help of their gangs of pimps – a situation
she said had brought insecurity to the whole neighbourhood.
The
report added that 14 male clients were arrested alongside the prostitutes by
the police for allegedly soliciting.
