UPDATED : 18th August, 2024
The Central Region is hideously and gradually becoming a major hub for not just Nigerian prostitutes but child prostitution and illicit drug trafficking. As for the drug trafficking part we shall handle in another feature but for now let’s focus on the “Ashawo, Hookup, Linkup, Meetup Part”. However you choose to call it, it still evokes the same meaning and ends in the arena of the same purpose. The age-old profession never goes away.
If the late Nkenten Appiah Menka were to be alive. He would still have reiterated the fact that he is so saddened concerning the fact that he fought for the People of Central Region for Kasoa lands retrieved from the GA’s and given to the Central Region. This is because, as far as Team DBlog is concerned. Kasoa is the major reason The Central Region is gradually gaining notoriety for peddling in the prostitution or “hookup” business.

WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL REGION
CHECK LOCATIONS BELOW
B
BUDUBURAM (A.K.A Liberia Camp)
The Liberia Camp, Originally Known or called Buduburam Camp is historically the place refugees from Former Prez’s Sir Leaf Johnson or Oppong Weah’s Liberia were brought amd kept for safety during the Liberian War. Nevertheless, the camp has grown into a den for not just prostitution but also for thieves, Drug peddlers and traffickers as their hideout. Over here, Prostitutes ply their trade right from the Junction to the camp itself, as well as some makeshift structures spotted by our reporters outside the markets and some vicinities in the camp.
O
OBOM ROAD
Months after the demolition of the famous Soja Bar at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, a new brothel has emerged at Kasoa in the Central Region where children prostitutes are offering ” hot ” services. It is located off the Kasoa-Obom Road and has been running for several years now.
Our reporters have revealed that children below 16 years are involved in this immoral act satisfying the lustful needs of men as old as their parents. They charge GH 7 for an hour and GH 3 for relatively shorter periods.
OPEIKUMA
Opeikuma used to be a lovely community full of vibrancy and hope, especially for young people until makeshift drinking spots started popping up along the streets of Opeikuma. A few metres drive from the main Kasoa Overpass towards Opeikuma Junction is a spot named A1 PUB which introduced the introduction of other pubs being setup in that vicinity. In the night, a pedestrian using this route needs no introduction to realize the heavy presence of female night workers clothed in skimpy dresses and galivanting aimlessly up and down. Our reporters found out that most of these girls are mostly Nigerians who had migrated from the main city, in Accra.
M
MONACO BAR (SAFARI JUNCTION)
At this point, team DBlog can confidently say that the arrival of Monaco Bar and Lounge did not only bring a mini city lifestyle to the residents of Kakraba Nyanyaano but also a looming Red Light activity. This we belive if not checked quickly can worsen the situation of young girls in the area. Ask about Safari Junction on you way to Kakraba and you will be amazed the number of girls “Selling their bodies” for as little as 100ghs to men who will want to have them for the night.,
