A 32-year-old Nigerian woman, Patience Gold, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by the Tarkwa Circuit Court for trafficking four young women from Nigeria to Ghana and coercing them into prostitution.
Patience Gold was convicted on multiple charges, including human trafficking, illegal abortion, assault, and prostitution.
She received 20 years for trafficking, five years for performing an illegal abortion, and two months each for assault and prostitution.
The court ruled that the sentences would run concurrently, meaning she will serve a maximum of 20 years.
