The Ghana Police Service in a bid to eradicate Human trafficking on the Volta Lake has inaugurated four marine boats with support from the International Justice Mission, IJM in the Krachi West Municipality of the Oti region.
The IJM will also provide capacity building, trainings and operational logistics to the Marine Police to effectively patrol some parts of the Volta Lake.
This follows collaboration between the two institutions some years ago. As part of the initiative the Volta Lake Marine Police Patrols Boat Team is to be situated at the Bank of Kete-Krachi.
According to the Director of Operations, ”IJM is committed to providing resources to tackle issues of Human/Child Trafficking, Child labor and other forms of criminality on the Volta Lake”.
IFJ is therefore appealing to stakeholders and the Oti Regional Coordinating Council to support the Marine Police Unit for a successful delivery.
