So the woman assisted me with the girls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of those girls are hers. Among those girls, I have only four inside, others have madam and some are madam of their own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo of their madams are Igbos and one is Benin. I don\u2019t know their real names but we call one Ivy, the other one is auntie Success and the last person is auntie Oyinbo,\u201d Joy told DAILY POST.<\/p>\n<p>She disclosed that she was caught because two of the girls belonging to the other ladies had escaped and in the process sold her out to the officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo of the girls ran away. I looked for them and had plans of going to report at the station because they are human beings and if something happened to them they\u2019re on my neck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut this morning, police came to raid our place and I saw the missing girls with them. I asked them, if you don\u2019t like this work, why didn\u2019t you talk? And even though you want to react like this, you\u2019re supposed to react when your madams are around,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If We Talk, We Would Die \u2013 Victims<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The victims who were rescued by the timely intervention of the Ogun State Amotekun Corps were scared and refused to talk.<\/p>\n<p>According to them, if they confessed their dealing to anyone, they would die.<\/p>\n<p>One of the survivors, a 14-year-old JSS3 dropout (name withheld) who was seen shaking in fear, disclosed that they were made to take an oath.<\/p>\n<p>She was trafficked into the state from Akwa Ibom on the 29th of January, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cThey did not tell me that this is what I will be doing, they only told me that I would be a sales girl when I arrive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn getting here, I was given some drugs to take before I started the work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe (Idem Joy) cut some of my hair from my head, saying whenever I run she would use my hair to kill me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor some, she took their pictures and others their blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to a question about her pay, she said, \u201cSometimes I make N20,000 per day depending on the turnout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI sleep with 10 to 12 men a day, they pay N1,000 or N2,000 it depends. But we give all the money to our madam,\u201d she told DAILY POST.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, a 17-year-old girl (name withheld) disclosed that she was brought into the state on November 7, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>She said she swore to an oath while standing naked on a bible and was to work for one year before regaining her freedom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe cut my hair and I stood naked on a bible to swear an oath. For some of us, she used cotton wool to clean our private parts so that we can\u2019t run away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy customers pay me N5,000, N2,000 and most of the time N1,000. She promised me that once I work well, I\u2019m free to go after one year and she would buy me a phone and a box filled with clothes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes I have 10 customers per day, when I\u2019m done they pay me N5,000, N2,000 and most of the time N1,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The girls also revealed that most of the tissue papers used by their client were collected and kept by their boss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Oath Aren\u2019t Real, Just To Scare Them \u2013 Suspect<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Responding to their allegations, Madam Joy said the oath taking was merely done to scare them from running away and not for ritual purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Joy said, \u201cWe didn\u2019t make anyone swear. It\u2019s just to scare them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason you see tissue and condom is that condom is for protection so, if a man comes around they use the condom and when they\u2019re done, they use the tissue. I don\u2019t collect used tissue from any of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose other girls used to hustle and give me the money but, once it is given to me, it\u2019s not in my account, it\u2019s for their madam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST reports that among the items recovered from their hideout in the hotel included one bundle and 3 pieces of tissue paper, 15 packs and 45 pieces of condoms, 25 sachets of female condoms, and 25 pieces of cupid lubricant.<\/p>\n<p>Others are one wrap of suspected Indian hemp, one local herbal mixture tied in a black nylon, a sum of N819,600, various types of drugs, energy enhancer, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Joy, while maintaining that she has spent 4 years in the business, said any of the girls who want to return back to their families were free to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this year finishes, it\u2019ll be 4 years since I joined this business and If any one of them wants to go, they should put them in the car and let them go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know what I\u2019m doing is a criminal offense, that is why I did not force them,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Children Below 18 Can\u2019t Give Consent To Sexual Activities- CPN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Ogun state coordinator of the Child Protection Network, Barrister Adedamola Lapite, has said children below 18 years of age cannot give consent to sexual activities.<\/p>\n<p>Lapite, describing the incident as disheartening and unfortunate, stated that according to the Child\u2019s Right Law and Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law, even if the children had given consent, it is presumed as no consent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s absolute balderdash that this is coming from the girl\u2019s mouth. It\u2019s obvious that the 29-year-old is ignorant and doesn\u2019t know what she is saying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Child Right Law of Ogun State and the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law says that children as long as they are below 18 cannot give consent to sexual activities, even if the child gives consent, it\u2019s presumed as no consent at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo coming out to say the children knew what they were getting into, children below 18 are taken as not knowing the implications of what they are doing,\u201d Lapite told DAILY POST.<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST reports that Section 8, 9 of the Ogun State Child\u2019s Right Law says, \u201cA child shall not be regarded as capable of giving consent to sexual activities. Any person who defiles a child commits an offense and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for life\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer, who is also the Executive Director, Spring Centre, a sexual assault referral centre in Ogun State, stated that the incident is one of so many in the state and the country at large, adding that perpetrators should be punished adequately.<\/p>\n<p>Lapite, while attributing the reoccurrence of the menace to lack of justice and offenders getting away with their crimes, blamed poverty as one of the causes of such an act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately most times you see that these people get away with some of these bastard acts and it encourages them to continue with this kind of attitude.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the parents of some of these children that hand them over under the disguise of \u2018we are going to give your children a better life, we are going to put them through school\u2019, not knowing the perpetrator\u2019s real motive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the Network had established community child protection committees in all 20 local government areas of the state in order to keep an eye on such matters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The case has been charged to court \u2013 NAPTIP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Ogun State commander of the National Agency For The Prohibition Of Trafficking In Persons, Abosede Jimoh said the agency had received the 15 victims alongside two suspects \u2013 the owner of the hotel and the trafficker.<\/p>\n<p>She stated that the case had been charged to court and the victims were in protective custody, receiving counseling.<\/p>\n<p>Jimoh said, \u201dWe are on top of the situation. We have been investigating the case, and the victims are in protective custody, we\u2019ve also been counseling them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The state commander, while lamenting that the girls were taken without the consent of their parents, said the 29-year-old trafficker confiscated their phones and seized their menstrual pads as a mechanism to keep them in slavery.<\/p>\n<p>She disclosed that after medical examination, one of the girls was confirmed pregnant, some came out HIV positive, and others had various infections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not easy for these victims to come out of the trauma. Some of them have contracted various infections, some are HIV positive, and one is pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 62-year-old owner of the hotel and the 29-year-old madam have been charged to court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also know that human trafficking can also graduate into other forms of crime. It goes hand in hand with kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, it is also kidnapping because she kept them in her custody without the consent of their parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe parents did not know where their children were until they were handed over to us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe confiscated their phones and seized their menstrual pads as a mechanism to keep them in perpetual salvery, and this is dangerous for the nation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how long the victims would remain with the agency before reuniting with their family, the NAPTIP boss said, \u201cwhen victims are rescued, we don\u2019t just send them home, we also try to make sure that they are rehabilitated, given psychosocial support, empowered and then integrated back into the society\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She revealed that provisions have been made for 4 of the victims to continue their education.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jimoh charged parents to be more protective of their children, adding that poverty is not a criteria to live a wayward life or to be exploited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re Committed To Combating These Abuses \u2013 Ogun Commissioner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Adijat Adeleye has maintained that the ministry is fully committed to combating the abuses against women and the girl child.<\/p>\n<p>Adeleye, reacting to the incident, told DAILY POST that the ministry is working in collaboration with law enforcement, social welfare agencies, and other stakeholders to ensure that such acts are unraveled in all the nooks and crannies of the state.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cThis heinous exploitation of our vulnerable youth is an affront to our collective conscience and a stark reminder of the persistent scourge of human trafficking in our society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ministry is fully committed to combating these abuses, thus we have always engaged stakeholders to ensure the intelligence gathering and reporting of such acts to the nearest security formation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also intensifying our efforts to raise public awareness and strengthen policies\/legislation to hold traffickers accountable, and to prevent such exploitation from recurring in our State<\/p>\n<p>Written By Gift Oba<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t force them; we asked them if they were interested right away because I know what they&#8217;re doing is bad.&#8221; These were the words of Idem Joy, the boss to the 15 suspected trafficked victims who were used as sex workers in Ifo local government area of Ogun State.
