3 arrested in Bolgatanga for trafficking girls into prostitution
The Upper East Regional Police Command arrested three suspects in Bolgatanga over their alleged involvement in a human trafficking operation. The suspects, identified as Peace Agbede, Favour Sunday Udo, and Faith Levy, are accused of luring victims from Nigeria under the guise of opportunities in the Ghanaian movie industry. One victim was allegedly recruited by Peace Agbede and promised a film career, but upon arriving in Ghana, was reportedly taken to Gbane-Tongo and forced into prostitution, compelled to pay GH¢400 daily.
The situation reportedly worsened when the victim gave birth on 26 June 2026. Police say the suspects later attempted to persuade her to sell the newborn baby for GH¢20,000 to an interested buyer. A search in one suspect's room revealed sales record books bearing multiple names and 265 unused condoms. Police also rescued four young women aged between 18 and 20 years during the operation. The suspects are currently in police custody and are expected to be put before court as investigations continue.
