Divisional Police Commander, ACP Victor Gyan Kyereko, who confirmed the arrest to Daily Guide, said the police received several complainants about the activities of the commercial sex workers and how some unscrupulous criminals gathered there to plan their robbery activities in the area.
Some of the suspected prostitutes with their counterparts were caught in the act while others waited for their turns to operate. The brothels visited were located at Chris Berry Night Club and Abrafi Spot areas and some parts of Sakumono. The suspected prostitutes, according to the commander, were between the ages of 13 and 32 years.
According to ACP Kyereko, "most of the suspected prostitutes were from Somanya in the Eastern Region, Kasoa in the Central Region and Agbogloshie in Accra, but travel to Nungua every evening to practise prostitution."
Items found in the brothels after the raid included a number of folded toilet rolls, boxes of condoms, jackets and an unspecified amount of money.
Modus Operandi ACP Gyan Kyereko explained that the ladies were kept inside the brothels by the operators while the men (clients) enter to pay their monies to them (operators), collect their condoms and toilet rolls and enter the chambers to have sex with them. For a ‘short time’, the men were charged an amount of GH₵20 while GH₵50 was paid for ‘full time’.
