A 38-year-old Nigerian man, known as Pussy Mama, has been remanded by the Kasoa Ofaakor Circuit Court in Ghana.
The suspect is accused of trafficking over 3,000 young girls and boys from Nigeria to Ghana, Mali, and other countries for prostitution.
Naija News understands that the accused has been on the wanted list of both Nigerian and Ghanaian police for over a decade.
It was gathered that authorities faced challenges in apprehending him, with some investigators attributing his elusive nature to the alleged use of “juju,” a traditional form of spiritual protection, according to Joy Online.
According to a police report, the suspect, identified as intersex with traits of both male and female genitalia, is responsible for trafficking women and girls from Nigeria, Liberia, and Togo into Ghana for prostitution.
It was revealed that the victims were forced into prostitution at various locations, including hostels and nightclubs in Kasoa, Buduburam, and surrounding areas.
The suspect reportedly lured the women with promises of well-paying jobs but later coerced them into sex work.
However, his luck ran out during a recent operation. While attempting to traffic another group of young girls from Nigeria to Ghana for prostitution, he was arrested by a young female police officer.
The suspect was arraigned before the Kasoa Ofaakor Circuit Court on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. Presided over by His Lordship Isaac Oheneba Kuffour, the court ordered that he be remanded in police custody.
He is scheduled to reappear in court on October 18, 2024.
