Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has,
once again, done an undercover operation that
has led to the rescue of six Asian girls trafficked
to Ghana and forced to work as sex slaves.
The six, aged between 29 and 38 were lured from
Vietman believing they were travelling to America
for readily available well-paid jobs.
Their ‘masters’ eventually landed them in Ghana
and after seizing their passports and travelling
documents, turned them into commercial sex
workers.

The ‘masters’, two Chinese nationals – Hwang Se
Hui, 49 and CzTian Ping, 35 – played the role of
pimps or ‘sex agents’ and directly received
payment from male clients who patronised the
services of the girls.
All that the sex slaves got in return was food and
clothing, mostly very provocative ones to entice
the sex customers. They were camped at the
Jang Mi Guest House in Takoradi.

Anas, after a five-month undercover investigation
disguised as “John Sullivan”, an American
working at one of the oil rigs in Takoradi, finally
managed to rescue all six girls and got some of
the traffickers arrested.
Anas was supported by the International Police
Agency (INTERPOL), the Anti-Human Trafficking
Unit of the Ghana Police Service led by Supt.
Patience Quaye and the Western Regional
Superintendent of the unit, ASP Obeng Dickson.
The operation was also assisted by the US and
UK embassies, as well as the Vietnamese
Embassy.

The police found some passports, contraceptive
pills, pornographic movies and some Indian hemp
in the rooms. They also found a bag which
contained some of the money that the traffickers
had made off the girls.
They were taken to the Takoradi District Police
Command, and transferred to Accra and are
currently being processed for court.
