Anas Aremeyaw Anas
Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has, once again, done an undercover operation that has led to the rescue of six Asian girls trafficked to Ghana and forced to work as sex slaves.
The six, aged between 29 and 38 were lured from Vietman believing they were travelling to America for readily available well-paid jobs.
Their ‘masters’ eventually landed them in Ghana and after seizing their passports and travelling documents, turned them into commercial sex workers.

Anas, after a five-month undercover investigation disguised as “John Sullivan”, an American working at one of the oil rigs in Takoradi, finally managed to rescue all six girls and got some of the traffickers arrested.
Anas was supported by the International Police Agency (INTERPOL), the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of the Ghana Police Service led by Supt. Patience Quaye and the Western Regional Superintendent of the unit, ASP Obeng dickson.
The operation was also assisted by the US and UK embassies, as well as the Vietnamese Embassy.

The police found some passports, contraceptive pills, pornographic movies and some Indian hemp in the rooms. They also found a bag which contained some of the money that the traffickers had made off the girls.
They were taken to the Takoradi District Police Command, and transferred to Accra and are currently being processed for court.

The ‘masters’, two Chinese nationals – Hwang Se Hui, 49 and CzTian Ping, 35 – played the role of pimps or ‘sex agents’ and directly received payment from male clients who patronised the services of the girls.
All that the sex slaves got in return was food and clothing, mostly very provocative ones to entice the sex customers. They were camped at the Jang Mi Guest House in Takoradi.
