An 18-year-old victim of a human trafficking syndicate, identified as Victoria Oshioke, has narrated how her boyfriend sold her into prostitution for 500,000 cefa (about N350,000).
Agents of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) on Thursday rescued Oshioke, alongside three different young ladies, from the leader of a human dealing syndicate.
One of the young ladies said she was first offered to the syndicate three years back when she was 16-years of age and taken, first, to Cotonou, Republic of Benin and later to Mali to participate in prostitution.
She, anyway uncovered that she discovered her way back to Nigeria after she was unable to adapt to the pressure of engaging in sexual relations with various men.
She told Dailytrust,
“The syndicate took me to Mali where I was made to sleep with different men. I came back two years ago and later got a call from my boyfriend, Maxwell, that I should come to Benin. I was living in Auchi then.
“When I got to Benin along with my elder sister, my boyfriend asked me to go back to Mali.
“I refused. in the midnight, he threw us out of his apartment. For fear of being attacked, we agreed to go.
“The next day, which was Tuesday, he put us in a bus coming to Lagos after calling his contact, who resides at Iyana-Ipaja.”
