An alarming situation involving an eight-year-old girl, Maryam, allegedly trafficked from Niger to Ghana for begging, has come to light. The child reportedly faces abuse from the individual who brought her to the country.
Maryam is said to be subjected to mistreatment when she cannot meet the demands of her alleged trafficker. The young girl has expressed a desire to return to her home country, Niger, though her parents are reportedly aware of her presence in Ghana. Questions are now being raised about whether Maryam should be repatriated or placed under the care of foster parents in Ghana.
