According to reports, one Madam Success has been remanded in custody after seducing four female college students into prostitution in Delta State.
After being hauled before a magistrates court on Friday, the defendant was denied bail.
According to reports, Madam Success took the 13 to 15-year-old victims from Akwa Ibom State to Agbor, Delta State, on the pretence of turning them into sales girls, but instead kept them in a brothel and forced them to sl*ep with at least five men every day.
The four female students were held by their trafficker in Onitsha as they travelled to Delta State, but Ify Obinabo, the commissioner for women’s and children’s welfare in Anambra State, rescued them.
According to Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, Obinabo’s media assistant, the commissioner raided an Onitsha car park alongside the police based on a tip-off and rescued the girls. While n their ordeal, one of the rescued girls said: “Auntie Success claimed to have employment opportunities for us in Agbor, Delta State, where we would be selling drinks in a beer parlour; but, when we arrived, we discovered that the work she had arranged for us involved prostitution.
The girls maintained that they had made several unsuccessful attempts to escape but were always caught and punished severely. They claimed that they were lured into the act to secure their school fees.
And that after the punishment, they were taken to a herbalist who forced us to take an oath that we would never run away or we would die”
