The names of two of the suspects are Asare Mary, 24 and Ameyaa Naomi, 23 as learnt from a well placed source.
Following the same appern as the last arrest, these four females entered Nigeria via road from Togo and Benin Republic, while they also planned to travel out of Nigeria through Egypt Air before they were apprehended by the immigration officials at the airport.
The four who were with Ghanaian international passports in their statements, admitted that they had attempted to use Nigeria as a transit point to connect Europe via Egypt Air.
The ladies, on further interrogation lamented that the hardship in Ghana prompted them to attempt in the trade, adding that their sponsors who they refused to name bought them air tickets.
The source said: “Once again, our officials at the Lagos Airport have stopped four Ghanaians from using our country as a transit point to Europe to engage in prostitution.
“Our investigation has revealed that some unscrupulous elements within the West Coast want to use our country as a transit point to Europe or even Middle East, but our officials have been trained to detect such people, either Nigerians or foreigners. We consistently stop them and we will continue to do that.”
The four ladies have been handed over to officials of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking In Persons (NAPTIP) for possible deportation back to their country.
