Rescued Nigerian Trafficking Victims Reveal They Slept with 15 Men Daily in Côte d’Ivoire
A group of Nigerian women rescued in a joint operation by NAPTIP and a global anti-trafficking organisation have spoken out about their ordeal in Côte d’Ivoire. They were lured with promises of legitimate jobs, only to be locked in a room and forced into hard labour and prostitution. One survivor said she left Abuja for a bakery job but discovered there were no openings on arrival. Traffickers confiscated their phones, deducted money from meagre earnings and compelled them to sleep with up to 15 men each day to repay alleged transport debts. They earned as much as 50,000 CFA francs daily but saw little or none of it. The organisation called for stronger collaboration among governments and security agencies, and urged Nigerians to verify overseas employment offers through official channels and report suspicious recruiters immediately.
