The Eastern Regional Police Command has launched investigations into the alleged abduction and physical abuse of women at a gated residential facility at Ntano in the New Juaben North Municipality.
According to Citi Newsroom, preliminary police investigations indicate the facility near the CMB Workshop area is occupied by about 18 West African nationals involved in network marketing.
Residents alerted police after repeatedly hearing cries from inside the apartments, particularly in the evenings.
Personnel from the Counter Terrorism Unit and the Effiduase Police Command were deployed, and some suspects were arrested. They remain in police custody.
Police have not disclosed the identities of the suspects, the number of women allegedly affected or details of the incidents. No charges have been reported.
