A Ghanaian national involved in human trafficking and sexual exploitation has been arrested in Libya, the elite Libyan 4444 Combat Brigade has confirmed.
The suspect was apprehended during a Sunday evening military operation in Libya.
Authorities revealed that the suspect had transformed a large compound, originally meant to accommodate migrant workers, into a base for orchestrating criminal operations.
“The suspect had kidnapped 11 women of different nationalities and profited by forcing them into prostitution under threat and coercion,” the investigation revealed.
The dramatic raid was carried out after the brigade received international alerts regarding the abduction and disappearance of the women.
Surveillance and intelligence gathering led to the successful storming of the property, resulting in the rescue of all 11 victims and the arrest of the suspect.
The rescued women are now in protective custody, while the suspect has been handed over to the Libyan Public Prosecutor for further legal action.
