Five Nigerian women, who are suspected to be commercial sex workers, have been arrested during a police swoop, intended to reduce crime within the Asokwa Municipality.
The Asokwa District Police had conducted the unannounced security operation in some known ghettos to apprehend suspected hoodlums even before they could plan to strike.
In total, twelve people, including seven males and five females were arrested at different locations. The five women later confessed that they were engaging in prostitution to survive.
The suspected prostitutes gave their names to police as Empress David, 22, Sonia Isaac, 24, Loveth Michael, 18, Success Moses, 21 and Victor Alice, 23.
