Following a nighttime
raid that resulted in the arrest of 13 sex workers, a security operation in
Tamale has garnered national attention. The ladies were apprehended in
locations including Jubilee Park and the Bank of Ghana stretch, which security
officials claim are turning into hubs for drug-related and commercial sex
services. National Security ordered the women to boost cleanliness operations
by sweeping portions of the central business center as a deterrent.
RSM Adam Mohammed,
Northern Regional Security Liaison Officer, claims that the action was symbolic
and deliberate. "We conducted a raid on night workers, who were thoroughly
investigated and turned over to the police." "There is a lot of trash
and filth in our city or municipality," he remarked. "So we thought
it would be wise to direct them so that they could aid in the clean-up exercise
of our cities," he continued.
RSM Mohammed observed
that both international and local prostitutes are becoming more prevalent in
Tamale, which has resulted in more operations. According to reports, several of
the women expressed regret and agreed to the exercise. "I believe they
also thought it is a good exercise," he said.
"If you find
yourself to have broken the law, the law will take you on," he said,
confirming that the suspects were subsequently turned over and that drug
dealers were also detained. Critics have questioned the action's strategy,
while supporters have praised it as a warning.
