EP14: Is increase in Nigerian prostitutes in Ghana due to greed? - a podcast by Nana Kwame

The number of prostitutes in Ghana is increasing especially girls from Nigeria. The Ghanaian police has started to crack down on several prostitution rings especially those from other African countries. The police have arrested four (4) Nigerian women believed to be trafficking young women from Nigeria to Ghana to work as prostitutes. According to some of the young women, they were promised jobs in the city but forced into prostitution the moment they reach Ghana. The police claim the parents of these ladies knew their kids were being taken to Ghana therefore the question then become, "why are these families allowing their children to go?" Is it because of greed?
Several places such as circle (in Accra) and Adum in Kumasi are noted for prostitution and the Wahaala boys have been there to witness these ladies of the night in action. Mr Nobody talked to some of these ladies and here is our take on the issue.
