The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has rescued 305 West African nationals, including 113 children, in the second phase of an intelligence-led operation targeting suspected human trafficking networks operating under the guise of street begging in parts of the Greater Accra Region. The operation, carried out in the early hours of Wednesday, April 15, 2026, covered key locations including Abossey Okai, Zongo Junction, Nima, Madina and Kaneshie.
Speaking in a statement, the GIS said the exercise forms part of sustained efforts to dismantle organised networks exploiting vulnerable migrants, particularly women and children, for street begging.
