Ghanaian Crime Boss ‘Begi’ Arrested in Libya as Army Rescues 11 African Women

In a decisive operation carried out in Tripoli, the Libyan Army has arrested an internationally wanted Ghanaian crime boss, known by the alias Begi. Authorities say the suspect was running a criminal network involved in human trafficking and forced prostitution, exploiting vulnerable African women for profit.

According to reports from the Libya Observer, the Libyan forces stormed Begi’s hideout and successfully rescued 11 women of various African nationalities who were being held against their will. The victims were reportedly subjected to sexual exploitation and abuse under Begi’s control.

Investigators believe the women were deceived with false promises of work and a better life, only to find themselves trapped in a brutal underground operation. The arrest came after weeks of intelligence gathering and coordination between military and anti-trafficking units in Libya.

The women are currently receiving medical care and psychological support, while arrangements are being made to return them safely to their home countries. Human rights groups and African diaspora organizations have expressed deep concern over the ongoing exploitation of migrants, especially women, across North Africa and the Mediterranean migration routes.

Begi, who had been on international watchlists for human trafficking and organized crime, is now in custody and is expected to face legal proceedings under Libyan and international law. Efforts are underway to trace and dismantle the rest of his trafficking network, which may span across several African nations.

This incident has reignited calls for stronger cross-border cooperation to combat human trafficking, protect African migrants, and ensure swift justice for those responsible.
