Ghana’s law enforcement agencies have to quicken their pace if the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra, is to be rescued from the control of pimps and prostitutes who rule the nights beginning at 7pm.
Last week, following a similar story THE SUN’s undercover reporters did months ago, the team hit the roads and outlets to the Circle, where much more alarming happenings were discovered.
As usual our first point of call was the SOLDIER BAR, just beside a big gutter at the Circle where we discovered to our chagrin that, mentally depraved people with sex at the center of their lives drifted to, to solicit for sex and cash in the dead of the night.
We discovered yet again on the prowl that various other joints had serviced facilities, purposely for the thriving business in a terrain the Police have pretended not to see.
Indeed for most of the sex houses, a kind of tax system pertains where motel owners’ claims are paid to security agents to avoid raids every now and then. At one such sex house quite near the Ghana Telecom main Post Office, THE SUN heard a vicious raid conducted by some unknown security agents, who were only cooled after bunched up cash of fresh notes were bundled into their operation car.
But the dirty aspect of it all has to do with some of the sex acts which take place out in the open in the dead of the night, and the wee hours of the morning.
One attendant, a pimp from Labone told THE SUN that, the sex industry has boomed so much so that long, unending queues of sex queens and their clients waiting for the opportunity of stay put in walled abodes to enjoy sexual bashing is a regular phenomenon.
According to close watchers, the business boomed to a crescendo during the Africa Union Conference quite recently, when lowly placed officials hooked to powerful invited guests came tumbling in, guided by their Ghanaian tour pals to the willing embrace of prostitutes who do everything for hard cash. The general impression and hope of the loads of prostitutes are that, lots of people are going to come over for January and February’s CAN 2008 tournament in Ghana which could automatically swell their incomes.
Yet again is the hope that a Non-Aligned conference is coming up, where clients from far and wide would, other things being equal, want to empty their sexual desires into Ghanaian girls.
Ironically, this is an HIV-AIDS age where Ghana’s drive to neutralize the canker is being thwarted on all fronts by the craze for sex for cash, be it with condom or not.
But above all remains the craze for foreign monies, which has enticed a steady stream of young Ghanaian girls to sell their womanhood all over the place. One pimp, from Korle Gonno who, together with a Madam, control eight attractive call-girls by his own admission related that, the vice girls also look for the opportunity to travel outside with some of their wealthy clients.
Of particular value are the educated among the lot, who cost so much per one bash just to get body and soul together on their various educational campuses. The pimp who operates the underground brothel told THE SUN that, sophistication means clients paying more for services rendered by classy prostitutes.
He will however not be forthcoming on the sharing of percentage and just how much is charged at his brothel. The pimp however informed that at the less sophisticated brothels dotted around Circle, charges range between ¢35,000 and ¢70,000 according to the bargaining power of the client and call girls. The Sun hit by the shock findings back-peddled into the Sunset and faded into oblivion to resurrect with yet another alarming finding, in an on-going spotlighting on the sex trade at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle. -THE SUN
