The Odumase Circuit Court in the Eastern Region has sentenced Baba Issa Zakaria, a 25-year-old okada rider and resident of Agomanya, to ten years in prison for trafficking young Nigerian women into the area.
Ella Elizabeth, a 26-year-old Nigerian trader, also appeared before the court in connection with the case.
She was charged with sex extortion, engaging in prostitution, and theft.
According to police investigations, Baba Issa Zakaria lured the victims from Nigeria to Lower Manya Krobo, where he housed them in various locations in Agomanya, a suburb of the municipality, to engage in commercial sex work.
