This story is a long one but i want to keep it short. (Vivian, not real name)
am 24-year-old Nigerian from a
village near Benin City, i struggled financially ever since my father died in 2011, but it was my dream to become a nurse.
In March 2013, a woman from my village named, Agatha offered to help me pursue my dream by sending me to England to attend school and secure a job.i was told that the cost of travelling, relocation, education, and getting employment for me would be £35,000 – which i would have to repay to the organisers.
Because life had been challenging for me and my family since the death of my father, i was eager to take advantage of what looked like an answered prayer. Also, i had no idea what £35,000 was in Naira, and didn’t think it would be a big deal to pay back.
Before departing from Nigeria, i was raped by one of the “organisers” of the trip and forced
to undergo a ritual-like process to prevent me from running
away.
The organizers fooled me into flying to Heathrow Airport on a
fake passport. However, their plan to sell me into sex slavery in Italy
began to unravel when Italian authorities spotted my forged ID and
sent me back to the UK.
After immigration officials detained me, i narrated my ordeal to them, leading to the arrest of the three organisers.
i was sent back to nigeria where i am now, am a student of one of the nursing schools in Kogi state. i really thank God for my life.
I believed Mrs. Agatha is just one of
many victims of the group, based in Africa, that traffics young women
through England to work as prostitutes in mainland Europe.
Please always pray before you take any step in life because what seemed to look like an opportunity might just be a hell hole.
