Madina Police to crack down on child labour and trafficking at market

The Madina Divisional Police Command has announced a renewed crackdown on child labour and human trafficking at the Madina Market, warning that traders who engage school-going children in commercial activities risk arrest.

Madina Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Dr Sarah Aba-Afari, said the Command would strictly enforce the relevant laws and take action against individuals who recruit children, including those brought from northern Ghana and other vulnerable communities, for work at the market.

The Command said the planned enforcement forms part of broader efforts to safeguard children, tackle exploitation and combat human trafficking within the Madina Market and its surrounding communities.
