(Nigerians
again!! !!!!!! I am so tired of reading or writing negative things about
Nigerians. We are so notorious; known over the world for the worst committed
crimes. Anyway topic for another day)Skynews reported that Nigerian gang forced women into
street prostitution in Spain by burning them with irons and using voodoo
rituals, according to police.
Detectives have arrested six Nigerian
nationals - including the suspected woman ringleader - as part of an
investigation launched last year after one of the prostitutes filed a complaint
with the authorities.
"The control exercised over women was
total, involving verbal threats as well as physical violence and various voodoo
ceremonies to terrorise them," police said in a statement.
"The ring caused them serious injury
through bites or by using an iron to cause second-degree burns."
The ring allegedly recruited women in Benin
City, a run-down Nigerian port, whose husbands and fathers had died and who
were struggling to raise their children.
They transported the women overland to
Morocco and then smuggled them on small wooden boats into Spain where they were
forced to work as street prostitutes in Barcelona and Malaga.
Spanish police have swooped several times in
recent years on similar prostitution rings that used the threat of voodoo
curses to frighten their victims into obedience.
Before leaving Nigeria, the rings often take
their victims to shrines where they swear to pay their debts to the group and
not to denounce them to the police.
The women leave fingernails, hair, underwear
and other personal items at the shrines which they are told will give voodoo
priests the power to harm them wherever they are in the world.
Its an act of desperation, these people must survive. The economy in nigeria is so bad, we need a good leader so that skilled and talented persons will utilise their skills instead of seeking for survival in a foreign country, where they live as 2nd class citizens.
