According to the Punch,a woman from Delta state,who goes by the name Madam Success has been apprehended and arraigned in Anambra state after being held culpable for misleading four girls, precisely undergraduates of an undisclosed university to be used as s£x workers in exchange for money of their services rendered.
Recalling the incident,sometime last week,Madam Success was brought before the Children, S£xual and Gender-Based Violence Magistrate Court in Awka,the capital city of Anambra state, where the presiding judge refused to grant her bail,ordering the prosecutor to keep her detained till further notice.
Following the information gathered by news reporters, the victims,whose identities remain undisclosed were all deceived all the way from Akwa Ibom state by Madam Success into believing there are numerous employment opportunities in Agbor, which is located in Delta state.
The female pupils, who ranged in age from 13 to 15 years of age, were reported to being assured by the suspect,Madam Success of guaranteed sales girl jobs in Delta; however, they were allegedly placed in a house of prostitutes and forced to have s£xual relations with no less than five men daily.
On the other hand, Mrs Ify Obinabo, the Anambra State Commissioner for Women and Children’s Welfare, is said to have come across the four teenagers in Onitsha, which is the location where their accused placed them to work as prostitutes before they were liberated.
Furthermore,Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, the media assistant to Obinabo, informed newsmen that the commissioner, who has connections with security authorities of the Nigeria Police Force, entered a motor park in Onitsha after being rightly informed of what was going on there, giving them the opportunity to save the victims and also put the culprit behind bars.
Narratively,when the victim were recounting their ordeals to the reporters, they made mentioned that their trafficker,Madam Success vividly assured them that with immediate effect, they would be employed as soon as they get to Delta state.
“Auntie Success told us that she has a job opportunity for us in Agbor, Delta state, where we will be selling drinks in a beer parlour, but on getting there, we discovered that it was prostitution work they brought us to do”, they lamented.
They also added that,“the men pay the sum of N1,000 or N2,000 directly to our madam, who only give us N400 every day for feeding.The direct payment to Madam Success made it difficult for us to have any cash at hand.These dresses (skimpy clothes) were bought for us from the proceeds which people pay to our madam”.
Quite unfortunately,the victims decried that,they actually heed to the suspect’s promises in an effort to raise their school fees,only to be used as prostitutes.Also,they went on to say that,all their plans to escape from the brothel proved futile as they’re subjected to ill treatments everytime they’re caught.
“After the punishment, we were taken to a herbalist who forced us to take an oath that we would never run away or we would die”, they concluded.
In the meantime,as at the time the heartbreaking news got to the media,all endeavors to contact the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for Delta State Police Command,Deputy Superintendent of Police,DSP Bright Edafe,didn’t go as planned because all calls and texts were not responded to.
