The Western Central Regional Police have rescued a 15-year-old Nigerian girl who was trafficked to Tarkwa for sexual exploitation. A 25-year-old woman, Joy Ogbonna, is in custody for her alleged role.
The victim’s father, Ogbonno Onuigbo, reported his daughter missing after she disappeared from Nigeria in October. The case broke open when, as police explained, “the victim later called him on the 24th of October 2025, revealing that she had been trafficked and abused in Ghana.”
Investigations revealed the teenager was lured from Enugu to Lagos with a fake job offer before being handed over to Ogbonna, who transported her to Ghana. Police said the suspect “confined the victim in a room, forced her into sex work, and collected the proceeds.”
A medical examination confirmed the victim is five weeks pregnant. The police are now working to arrest an accomplice, Golden Blessing, who is believed to be in Nigeria.
