Police rescue 16 human trafficking victims at Ngleshie Amanfro

The Accra Regional Police Command has successfully rescued sixteen (16) victims of human trafficking in Ngleshie Amanfro, a suburb of Accra.

According to citinewsroom.com report on July 31, 2025, a police statement signed by Superintendent Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs for the Accra Region, said the rescue operation followed a complaint filed on July 24, 2025, regarding the disappearance of a 17-year-old Ivorian national, Chaka Kante.

Kante had reportedly gone missing for nine months after being deported to Ghana under the pretext of joining a football team.

Acting on a tip-off, officers from the Accra Regional Command, together with the complainant, located the victims in a residential structure in Toptown, a suburb of Amanfro.

The rescued victims of 12 males and four females are believed to be nationals of Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the victims were recruited from their home countries by individuals suspected to be affiliated with a company called Q-Net, under the false promise of securing well-paying jobs in Europe,” the report said.

The victims have been identified as Ivorian nationals: Denbele Mohammed (20), Sawadu Razak (20), Olivier Yasei (19), Wilfred Kwako (18), Philbe Kwame (25), Kante Shamar (19), Kwame Lambel (24), Kone Musah (24), Lasnel Kante (18), and Chaka Kante (17) and Burkinabe nationals: Sajor Dijala (19), Abass Jeril (19), Wadrago Alice (22), Nyamego Winkode (22), Santa Elodi (23), and Oamba Fatooma (22).

Police say the victims are currently being sheltered, with arrangements underway to hand them over to the Ghana Immigration Service for further profiling and repatriation in accordance with immigration protocols.

The Command noted that investigations are ongoing to apprehend the individuals behind the trafficking operation.

Meanwhile, the police have cautioned the public, especially parents and guardians, to remain vigilant against fraudulent recruitment and travel schemes.

“The Police also urge anyone with relevant information about the recruiters to report to the nearest police station,” the report stated.
