Nigerian couple jailed in the UK for money laundering and human trafficking
Nigerian couple Lizzy Idahosa, 24 and Jackson Omoruyi, 41, have been
sentenced to prison in the UK. Lizzy got 8 years behind bars for sex
trafficking and Jackson got 2 years for money laundering.
The mother of one, who is currently heavily pregnant with Jackson's
second baby, was found guilty of trafficking women to and around the UK
as
well as inciting prostitution and money laundering.
Her
partner Jackson, charged £50,000 for travel from Nigeria and false
documents from the ladies they brought and made them work in brothels
where they had sex with 7 or 8 men a day to pay their debts.
Their
victims said that before traveling to London on the promise of a
better life, they had been subjected to 'juju' rituals in which they ate
snails and snakes, had their hair shaved, drank dirty water and were
cut with a razor. They were also threatened with illness, madness,
infertility and death if they ever spoke up.
