Child Trafficking: A Huge And Lucrative Business Across West Africa?

Not too long ago, the Ghanaian media reported the arrest of a Cameroonian  lady, suspected to be a child trafficker. The children in that particular instance, were picked up at a party for kids, apparently organised regularly, at the venue, by a local charitable organisation. The question is: Why did the lady claim falsely that the Ghanaian kids were refugees? 

Early reports of her arrest, pointed out her initial inconsistencies about the identities of the nine children, who were saved only because a diligent police officer stopped the vehicle transporting them, to find out why it was being driven at that time of night without its headlights on.

Clearly,  it was standard procedure to disorientate the children and prevent them from observing the route they took to the house they were being sent to, because they couldn't see in the total darkness enveloping them, as they approached their destination. That would make escaping difficult for the trafficked kids. 

This case, which even had foreign diplomats running interference right from the very beginning, when the suspected Cameroonian child trafficker was apprehended, must be investigated properly, to expose the network used by her to cover up the real purpose of  her cruel and vile enterprise operated from Kokrobite Hills. 

In a superstition-riddled sub-region of Africa, in which some believe that  murdering children for ritual purposes, will make them rich and powerful individuals, child traffickers supply their victims. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it has made child trafficking a huge and lucrative business across West Africa.
