The authorities in Ghana say they have repatriated 21 human trafficking victims, including children, to Nigeria after being rescued from an alleged gang in the capital, Accra.
Authorities say the victims – aged between 15 and 20 – were sent home on Tuesday with the help of Nigerian authorities.
Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office says they were released after a raid on a house last month, where they were undergoing training in cybercrime.
Seven suspected members of the gang are facing charges relating to engaging in organised crime, human trafficking, and assault.
