Some 17 commercial sex workers have been arrested for soliciting for immoral activities at Cantonments in Accra in separate operations.

The suspects were apprehended with quantities of condoms in areas such as Togo Embassy and Osu Oxford Street.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Accra Regional Police Command, DSP Effia Tenge, disclosed this to the Ghanaian Times in Accra, stating that they are in custody assisting in investigations.
