Ghana Immigration Service Rescues 305 West African Nationals in Anti-Trafficking Operation
The Ghana Immigration Service has successfully rescued over 300 West African nationals, including 113 children, from street begging networks in Accra. This operation, conducted early Wednesday, targeted rings suspected of exploiting foreign nationals through human trafficking. The operation is part of ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking in the Greater Accra Region. Despite these efforts, a 2024 U.S. State Department report highlighted that Ghana still falls short of the minimum standards required to eliminate human trafficking. The rescued individuals include 36 boys, 77 girls, 66 women, and 126 men, although the specific nationalities were not disclosed.
