Mr. Sule Salifu, Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive has expressed concern about the rising rate of prostitution in the Tamale Metropolis.
He said it had become a bane of authorities because all attempts to combat it had failed, adding, it had become appealing to both local people and foreigners.
He expressed concern when addressing this year's International Youth Week celebration in Tamale, organized by the National Youth Authority and partners.
Sex workers flood major streets in the metropolis all night, especially around the Police Barracks, Bank of Ghana and Victory Cinema areas.
Mr. Salifu said the sex workers had also recruited young men in the city and placed them in strategic locations to protect and inform them about any threats to their night-time activities and urged landlords and landladies to thoroughly investigate their tenants' backgrounds before renting out their rooms to help reduce such crimes.
He warned that the security agencies would soon come after them since their activities had effects on the younger generation.

These are some of the challenges associated with development, prostitution, being the oldest profession in the world will be very difficult to eliminate. As long as men patronize prostitutes, the business will thrive. Some men can't just approach a lady, with prostitutes, no plenty talking, once you enter she knows what you want, you pay, they serve you , Hahahaaaa. The immigration service should also step up their game, we have an influx of Nigerian lady prostitutes all over northern Ghana because the Accra, Kumasi, takoradi, tema are choked. It's like Ghana has no borders, anyone can come in as and when they like. Some men also argue that the prostitutes have come to reduce the number of rape cases in the system.
