A 28-year-old Calgary man is facing human trafficking charges after an investigation led by police in Regina.
According to the Regina Police Service, the case began in December when officers were informed about a woman who was being trafficked in the sex trade. Police said the investigation indicated the woman was trafficked across western Canada, including in Regina, between December of 2023 and November of 2025.

Police said the investigation, which involved a number of police agencies, ultimately led to the arrest of 28-year-old Abdoulaye Gadjiko in Calgary last week. Police also searched four homes, a business and a vehicle in Calgary in connection with the case.
Gadjiko has been charged with human trafficking, benefiting materially from trafficking, benefiting materially from sexual services, procuring, posession of the proceeds of crime over $5,000 and money laundering. He’s scheduled to appear in Regina Provincial Court on Wednesday morning.
“Human Trafficking investigations are extremely complex. most often cross borders and require extensive collaboration between agencies ” Laurel Marshall, Regina’s deputy police chief, said in a statement.
“First and foremost, it’s about ensuring victims are safe and helping them break free from their traffickers.”
While the case is now headed to the courts, police asked anyone with information that may be connected to the investigation to contact their local police force.
