The Inspector-General of Police Special Operations Team, working with the Ashanti Regional Police Command, has arrested 186 suspects in a series of intelligence-led operations across the Ashanti Region.
“The operations formed part of a strategic effort aimed at identifying, disrupting and dismantling criminal networks involved in human trafficking, sexual exploitation, narcotics trafficking, unlawful possession of firearms and other related criminal activities,” a police statement said.
The suspects comprise 86 Ghanaians, 96 Nigerians and four Togolese nationals.
Police said a key operation at Kenyase Aframa led to the arrest of Gladys Ibrahim, also known as “Mama Gee”, together with 100 foreign nationals.
“Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects are linked to a transnational criminal network involved in human trafficking, sexual exploitation, narcotics trafficking and other organised criminal activities,” the statement said.
