Police in Basse, Upper River Region, on Saturday arrested and detained four commercial sex workers names (withheld), The Point has been informed.
The circumstances leading to their arrest could not be established at the time of gathering the report. However, a source familiar with the matter and who spoke to our reporter on the condition of anonymity said police in Basse oftentimes arrest commercial sex workers particularly during the night.
“During their first arrest, each of them were asked to pay D500 (five hundred dalasis) before they were released,” a source in the region told our reporter.
Our source further added that no reason was given to them by the police as to why they were arrested. “This time around they did not pay anything to the police.”
The regional police commissioner, Mr. Sankareh said the arrest and subsequent detention of the four commercial sex workers was news to him.
“However, currently my officers are on night patrols and I don’t know actually who you are referring to? As far as I am concerned, the patrols are on and all those who were arrested before independence were released on bail so that they can go home and enjoy their independence,” he added.
