Those arrested were a 42-year-old woman and her 36-year-old brother, his 31-year-old wife and a 26-year-old woman.
They are accused of working with other unidentified suspects in Nigeria and Libya in human trafficking, an aggravated crime due to its cross-border nature; as well as causing harm to minors and exposing the injured parties to serious danger to their lives and their physical integrity.
The investigation began following statements made by a Nigerian minor named “Onda” (name changed to protect privacy, ed.), who disembarked in Catania in July 2016 from the Italian Coast Guard ship “Luigi Dattilo” together with 359 other migrants.
From her story, investigators learned that she had been recruited in Nigeria with the false promise of work in Italy, after having undergone an esoteric “juju” ritual, with which she agreed to repay the sum of about 20,000 euros. Once she arrived in Sicily, the young woman was taken from the reception centre where she was being hosted and was forced into prostitution.
Police were able to reconstruct the stories of other young Nigerian girls who, like “Onda”, were forced to prostitute themselves for a monthly payment of about 100 euros. They worked at outposts called “ugbo”, which means “the land”. These indicated the few meters of road assigned to each girl, and the police operation took this word for the name of the operation.

ReplyDelete100 Euros a month for having countless men with all levels of health and hygiene. They could be beggars on the street and make more money. That women would do such to their fellow women is so telling of the times we live in. Those girls will be messed up for a very long time, a tragic outcome of life.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is, it's their fellow Edo brothers and aunties who sell these girls into slavery. On the other hand, how is it these girls who don't even have school certificate not to mention bachelor's degree, think they can just relocate to Italy for work. Which kain work dey Italy for illiterates abegi?
ReplyDeleteA larger majority of these girls knew what they were going for. But maybe they didn't expect the working conditions or the no or sizes of prick wey dey show
