However, on getting to the Aflao border, they were not allowed to cross to Nigeria and had to stay back in Ghana. 

According to fresh details on the matter, the trafficked sisters said their parents consented to their emigration from Nigeria because of their (parents') inability to continue to pay their (girls') school fees.

A Ghanaian accommodating the young girls said the young ladies told him they were enrolled in schools in Nigeria but due to the inability of their mother to continue paying their school fees, they stayed out of school for a while. 

“It was at this time that the woman came to meet the mother to bring them to Ghana to work so that they could get some money to pay their school fees by the time they return to Nigeria,” he said.[story_link align="left"]90355[/story_link]

The young girls also stated that the woman's daughter had engaged them in her breadmaking business and was paying them GHC100.00 (Ghanaian cedis) a month which she had never paid.
