Lizzy Idahosa &Omoruyi jailed in UK for sex trafficking

Lizzy Idahosa&partner Jackson Omoruyi found guilty & jailed for money laundering & sex trade.
A woman,Lizzy Idahosa, 24,who was found guilty of trafficking two women from Nigeria to the UK to work in the sex trade has been jailed for eight years.
Lizzy Idahosa, 24, arranged for the women to be put through a ritualistic "juju" ceremony in
Nigeria to make them afraid of disobeying her.
The judge at Cardiff Crown Court said she she kept them in "a kind of hell".
Her partner Jackson Omoruyi, 41, found guilty of money laundering offences, was jailed for two years.
Idahosa - who is heavily pregnant with Omoruyi's baby, and already has a young child with him - was found guilty of trafficking women to and around the UK after a trial last month.
A jury also found her guilty of inciting prostitution and money laundering.
Infertility fears
During the trial, the jury heard the trafficked women worked in illegal joints to repay Idahosa £50,000 for travel from Nigeria and false documents.
Both victims said that before travelling to London on the promise of a better life, they had been subjected to 'juju' rituals.


Speaking after the court case, Nicola Rees, senior crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service Wales complex casework unit, said the sentencing "brings to a close a disturbing case involving the exploitation of two vulnerable victims".
"We know that traffickers specifically target those in positions of vulnerability," she said.
"I applaud the resolve of the two victims in this case, who were able to take active steps to break free from the abusive situation they were in."
