Over 30 Ghanaian girls thought to be Saudi Arabia-bound were last Saturday stopped for questioning by Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) officers at the Aflao frontier.
The girls have been arriving via a popular Nigerian transport company which plies the Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigerian route.
It is thought that the movement of the girls is the trick adopted by the employment agencies to beat the suspension of their business by the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
It would be recalled that the ministry recently suspended the employment of girls in the Gulf countries by job agencies until further notice.
There have been many complaints about the inhuman treatments these girls suffer when they work in the residences of their Arab employers in the Gulf countries.
Some of these girls find it almost impossible to return home when they want to do so because their travel documents are confiscated as soon as they land in the Gulf countries.
An anonymous GIS officer told DAILY GUIDE that “there has been a steady movement of Ghanaian girls to Aflao en route to Benin Republic or Nigeria where they are expected to fly out to Saudi Arabia.”
Their young ages and sheer number prompted the GIS officers, who upon examining their passports discovered a worrying trend: all of them bore Saudi Arabia visas obtained from Accra.
An official of the mission told DAILY GUIDE that “we cannot deny them visas because they satisfy all the important requirements such as documentary parental consent and the like.”
While vigilant GIS officers are stopping these girls from moving out when they suspect human trafficking, it is fact that many more have been sent out to go and suffer in the homes of rich but wicked Arab businessmen.
Advertisements have been blaring on the airwaves about the goodies in the Gulf States for Ghanaian workers, especially girls.
No sooner have they arrived in these places than they regret their decisions but it is often too late.

all these girl are travling bcos wrking in Ghana here is soo terible, i went 2 work @ 1 of the companies here in Ghana, and we were ask 2 offload goods 4rm a 40ft container and we were paid 13ghc, using some of this money as ur tranport. So if i will travel and wrk outside nd have abt 1500/month, i think that will be better
Why are people saying wat is not true.nobody is treating our girls bad here.if u ar lazy u will say dey ar treating u bad.so stop spoiling people job.
Sarpong u are rather making noise, Tony's making a lotta sense. If u have evidence why dont u inform GIS? or u are one of those connection men? There are just a few bad nuts destroying a bunch of nuts. Not all muslims are evill anyway.
TONY STOP THE NOISE U MAKING, THE THING IS BANNED BUT SOME SELECTED PEOPLE STILL TRAVEL THEM EVEN THROUGH THE KOTOKA AIRPORT. THEY R THE REASON WHY SOME AGENTS R USING THAT ROUTE WHY IS IT BANNED FOR ALL WITH OR WITHOUT LICENSE AND SOME PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING THEM THROUGH THE AIRPORT. IF THEY CANT BANNED TOTALLY THEY SHOULD COME OUT WITH MEASURES TO PROTECT THE LADIES WHEN TRAVELING. SOME OF THE LADIES TOO ARE STUBBORN EVEN IF THEY R STOPPED FROM TRAVELING THEY INSIST THEY WILL GO.
To me the GIS are doing a GREAT job to STOP this evil trade in human slavery because we are back again in the 17th and 18th century slave trade market again ; these muslim arabs are just evil people ; they think they are a unique people but what they do not realise is that ; that part of the world was cursed in biblical times by God ; today muslim countries are in utter turmoil ; why our girls still go there despite been WARNED that they may be killed in these states I cannot understand !!!!!!; the muslims in that part of the world will kill you for nothing but our girls prefer to go there ; we all see the state of these arab states all a mirage and worse is that we had a sitting president JOn 'Dubai' Mahama who adores Dubai another evil Arab state and instead of him to develop Ghana prefers to invest and send his family to Dubai. WE CANNOT LEAVE OUR GIRLS BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE AND POVERTY BUT ONLY HELP THEM AND STOP THEM FROM GOING TO THESE EVIL MUSLIM STATES !!!!!
