Nigeria – Human Trafficking from a UK perspective
Between April 2009 and March 2012 Nigeria has consistently been the most identified nationality for referrals of victims.
298 adults and 85 children.
Mainly young women between 17 and 30 years from Edo State and Delta State are trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation
Also minors for domestic servitude.
From poor socio-cultural backgrounds; economic hardship; encouraged to travel to Europe for a better life
Forced into sex trade by physical and psychological violence and also by the use “juju” rites, a form of voodoo which is well established in West African countries and/or by contract oaths.
These are performed by traditional or religious practitioners to guarantee the payment of the debt the victim has incurred for her journey to the EU, a debt which may range between 40.000 – 60.000 EUR according to investigations in European countries.
