The
apex
body
of
All
Nigerian
Associations
in
Ghana
(ANC)
has
expressed
fret
over
how
young
ladies
and
boys
are
being
trafficked
from
neighboring
countries,
including
Nigeria
into
Ghana.
The
youngsters,
according
to
the
ANC
are
brought
into
Ghana
ignorantly
on
the
basis
of
giving
them
employment
but
end
up
engaging
in
illicit
businesses
such
as
prostitution
and
cyber-crime
under
lock
and
key
environment.
They
have
thus
petitioned
the
Ministry
of
National
Security
to
partner
ANC
to
clamp
down
on
these
activities
to
help
protect
the
welfare
of
Nigerian
nationals
and
the
dignity
of
Ghana.
This
came
to
light
when
ANC
executives
paid
a
courtesy
visit
to
the
National
Security
Minister,
Albert
Kan
Dapaah
at
his
office.
Below
is
their
full
statement:
COURTESY
VISIT
TO
MINISTER
OF
NATIONAL
SECURITY
OF
REPUBLIC
OF
GHANA:
SPEECH
OF
COLLABORATION
DELIVERED
BY
THE
NATIONAL
PRESIDENT
OF
ALL
NIGERIAN
COMMUNITY
(ANC)
CHIEF
DR.
BAYOR
ALBERT
ASAOLU
ON
TUESDAY,
9TH
OF
JULY,
2024.
Your
Excellency,
sir,
the
Honorable
Minister
of
National
Security
and
the
entire
staff.
I
greet
you
with
warm
compliments
on
behalf
of
the
entire
Nigerian
Community
in
Ghana.
It
is
a
rare
privilege
and
opportunity
accorded
us
to
visit
the
most
sacred
government
department
of
the
Republic
of
Ghana.
The
national
Executives
Body
of
ANC
would
never
take
it
for
granted,
we
appreciate
this
significant
honour.
It
is
also
a
great
pleasure
to
introduce
the
delegates
of
the
National
Executive
of
ANC
to
your
Office.
The
All
Nigerian
Community
(ANC)
is
the
apex
body
of
all
Nigerian
Associations
in
Ghana,
bearing
the
utmost
responsibility
of
representing
Nigerians
in
Ghana.
The
All
Nigerian
Community
(ANC)
in
Ghana
has
been
in
existence
for
decades
with
a
core
mandate
and
responsibility
to
consolidate
the
bilateral
relations
between
Ghana
and
Nigeria,
and
also
to
actualize
peaceful
co-existence
between
the
two
Countries
to
protect
the
welfare
of
Nigerians
and
dignity
of
Ghana
and
Nigeria.
Your
Excellency
sir,
we
find
it
important
to
build
strong
synergy
and
to
familiarize
our
body
with
your
Office,
to
establish
cordial
relationship
with
commission
on
the
relevant
issues
that
concerned
Nigerians
in
Ghana
and
strengthen
the
bilateral
relations
and
to
further
identify
areas
of
improving
the
diplomatic
tie
between
the
two
countries.
We
are
here
to
present
two
vital
issues
bordering
on
the
welfare
and
dignity
of
Nigeria
and
Ghana.
We
believe
today’s
deliberation
will
actually
bring
a
final
solution
to
the
challenges.
We
therefore
request
for
your
collaboration
to
address
human
trafficking
from
neighboring
countries
including
Nigeria
into
the
country.
Intelligent
reports
revealed
to
us
that
some
untouchable
big
madams
and
men
are
engaging
in
the
modern
slave
trade
bringing
young
ladies
and
boys
to
Ghana
for
illicit
business
such
as
prostitution
and
cyber-crime
known
as
yahoo-yahoo.
The
madams
place
satanic
oath
on
the
girls
preventing
them
from
running
away
until
they
pay
off
while
Nigeria
boys
are
under
lock
and
key
environment
embarking
in
nefarious
and
fraudulent
activities
without
adequate
meal.
Many
under-age
girls
are
brought
into
the
country
ignorantly
on
the
pretext
of
giving
them
gainful
employment
but
on
getting
to
the
country
the
madams/masters
respectively
lure
them
into
prostitution
and
yahoo-yahoo.
It
was
also
discovered
further
that
some
boys
were
also
deceived
on
the
basis
of
helping
them
secure
admission
into
tertiary
institutions
in
Ghana.
Your
Excellency
sir,
it
is
incredible
to
believe
that
the
cartels
perpetrate
the
evils
with
support
of
some
undisclosed
government
functionaries.
On
several
media
outages,
Nigerians
have
been
stigmatized
unnecessarily.
Another
national
would
commit
a
crime
and
Ghanaian
media
will
jump
into
conclusion
and
tag
it
to
Nigerian
without
due
investigation.
We
are
appealing
to
the
media
to
do
thorough
investigation
before
publishing
their
materials.
We
are
committed
to
the
peace
of
our
host
country.
We
are
closely
monitoring
the
activities
of
all
Nigerians
through
communal
efforts.
All
community
leaders
have
also
taken
it
upon
themselves
to
be
sensitive
in
their
jurisdiction
in
case
of
any
acts
of
cultism
and
or
violence.
Any
Nigerian
that
is
involved
in
cultism
would
be
arrested
and
face
the
law
of
the
land.
We
are
here
today,
Your
Excellency,
sir,
to
seek
your
intelligent
advice
on
what
we
can
do
to
eradicate
or
curtail
these
dangerous
menaces
in
the
society.
Many
destiny
and
future
mothers
have
been
ruined
and
destroyed
completely
in
the
hands
of
ritualists
and
brutalists.
ANC
Executives
do
not
have
neither
power
nor
resource
to
apprehend
the
situation
but
we
are
setting
up
a
tripartite
task
force
in
conjunction
with
Nigeria
High
Commission
and
Host
Government
to
arrest
the
culprits
and
protect
the
international
image
of
the
both
Countries,
Ghana
and
Nigeria.
We
wish
therefore
to
solicit
an
absolute
intervention
and
involvement
of
the
National
Security.
The
crusade
against
illicit
acts
and
menace
is
not
limited
to
the
Ghana
government
alone,
we
have
officially
informed
the
Nigerian
government
at
all
levels
the
challenges
facing
us
and
the
country.
We
have
advanced
our
plans
to
visit
the
Federal
Government
and
State
Governors
to
deliberate
and
come
up
with
pragmatic
solutions
from
home.
Once
again,
we
shall
forever
be
grateful
for
the
grace
and
honour
allotted
to
us
for
this
historic
meeting.
We
are
always
available
and
also
at
your
service
whenever
need
arises.
We
also
pray
to
Almighty
God
to
grant
us
a
peaceful
general
election
in
December.
Thank
you
sir.
God
bless
the
Republic
of
Ghana!
God
bless
the
Federal
Republic
of
Nigeria!
God
bless
Africa!
