Suspected prostitutes arrested

Accra, June 7, GNA - The Adabraka District Command of the Ghana Police Service on Wednesday arrested 28 suspected prostitutes and eight men alleged to be running brothels at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Adabraka and its surrounding areas.

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mr Philip Dugah, who is in-charge of the Adabraka Police Station, told the GNA in Accra that the Police carried out the raid at dawn, as part of the Service's plan to rid the city of miscreants.

He said that investigations were ongoing to prove the identity of the suspects and those found culpable would be arraigned. Scores of curious people, who heard of the arrest thronged the Adabraka Police station to catch a glimpse of the suspects. But they were met with disappointment as the suspects were all being held in custody.

Mr Dugah said the exercise would be carried out relentlessly to bring sanity into the city.
