This was after the demolishing of the unsafe structures they have been using to operate their businesses.

The demolishing exercise was undertaken by the Municipal Security Council of Amenfi West headed by Municipal Chief Executive, Lord Nana Tandoh.

They were led by security personnel drawn from Ghana Police Service, Immigration, National Security, and Fire service.

The demolished structures which were sited in an unauthorised area were made up of plywood, and polythene located in the heart of Asankrangwa, Aboi Nkwanta and Wassa Dunkwa.

The MCE, Lord Nana Tandoh, lamented how the activities of the sex workers, mostly foreigners have become a nuisance to residents.

He said after several complaints from the people, it was necessary to take the action.

“These people undertake their illegal activities in the centre of town, and we have children around who can copy blindly, even now most of the young boys have started patronizing them because they charge only 20 Cedis.

“Looking at these structures they live in and the items they have including the gas cylinder they can easily catch fire”, The MCE noted.

After the demolishing, several items such as contraceptives, amulets, gas cylinders, and clothes were retrieved from the demolished structures.
