Mr Ikenna Aniagboso, a
member Anambra Association in New Delhi, India, stated this in a recent radio
interview, monitored by DAILY POST.
Anambra indigenes living in
India have expressed worry over the rising number of Nigerian girls brought
into the country for prostitution, saying that the anomaly has reached its
height.
Aniagboso, who spoke on
Anambra Broadcasting Service, ABS, said most young girls of between 14 and 18
years were being trafficked into India under the guise of giving them jobs, but
they end up as prostitutes.
He said, “This new trend is
giving Anambra people living in India a cause for concern. Almost on a daily
basis, young girls are rescued and taken to the Nigerian Embassy in New Delhi.
“That is why we decided to
come home to enlighten our people not to fall for scams by some human
traffickers who promise parents job for their daughters, only to take them to
India for prostitution.
“Indians like black women,
and you know that especially here in Anambra, our women have full shapes that
excite Indians. The new trend among Indians is that once they bring a black
girl home, they call their friends to come and join them. This is so
humiliating for we who live and work genuinely there.”
Aniagboso said that in most
cases, the trafficked girls are made to keep working until the person that
brought them to the country has recovered their expenses made on them and also
made profit of a million Naira, before the girl is allowed to work for
themselves.
He called on the state
governnent to also intervene, while calling for strict interrogation by parents
before accepting to give away their mature daughters to be take abroad.
