The Ghana Immigration Service has rescued 662 children. This happened during an operation targeting human trafficking and exploitative street begging.
A total of 1,055 people were arrested. The operation focused on networks that force people, especially children, to beg on the streets.
The intelligence-led operation covered both the Greater Accra and Ashanti regions. These areas are known for such activities.
The Ghana Immigration Service stated that the arrests are part of efforts to protect vulnerable individuals.
Many of those rescued are believed to have been brought into Ghana to be exploited.
The rescued children will receive support and care. Authorities are working to reunite them with safe environments.
This action aims to dismantle organised groups involved in human trafficking.
The Ghana Immigration Service continues to monitor and act against such criminal networks.
