Spanish Police Smash Nigerian Prostitution Ring by Abagworo(m): 7:18pm On Jun 02, 2013 |
MADRID (AFP) – Spanish police said Sunday they had broken up a ring that smuggled in women from Nigeria and forced them into street prostitution by burning them with irons and using voodoo rituals. Police arrested six Nigerian nationals, including the suspected woman ringleader, as part of an investigation launched last year after one of the prostitutes filed a complaint with the authorities. “The control exercised over women was total, involving verbal threats as well as physical violence and various voodoo ceremonies to terrorise them,” police said in a statement. “The ring caused them serious injury through bites or by using an iron to cause second-degree burns.” The ring recruited women in Benin City, a run-down Nigerian port, whose husbands and fathers had died and who were struggling to raise their children. They transported the women overland to Morocco and then smuggled them on small wooden boats into Spain where they were forced to work as street prostitutes in Barcelona and Malaga. Spanish police have swooped several times in past years on similar prostitution rings that used the threat of voodoo curses to frighten their victims into obedience. Before leaving Nigeria, the rings often take their victims to shrines where they swear to pay their debts to the group and not to denounce them to the police. The women leave fingernails, hair, underwear and other personal items at the shrines which they are told will give voodoo priests the power to harm them wherever they are in the world. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/06/spain-police-smash-nigerian-voodoo-prostitution-ring/ 4 Likes |

Nobody forces anyone in Benin to go into prostitution. The girls from that area are proud of their profession and even their parents support them especially their mothers. 9 Likes |

Ricky_Ross: Nobody forces anyone in Benin to go into prostitution. The girls from that area are proud of their profession and even their parents support them especially their mothers. That is the saddest part Some of the girls go with the full blessings of their parents and siblings The girls are still victims I suspect that any father or mother that supports their daughter to do this must have sexu.aly molested her as a child or pim.ped her out at an early age,conditioning her to this lifestyle. It is not normal for a parent to want this for their daughter. 6 Likes |

As much as this practice has found a home in a certain tribe, it should be noted that the high rate of poverty has pushed some young ladies with little regard for morals into this trade and of cause their parents share a part of the blame. So sad 6 Likes |

One thing I noticed in Nigeria is that if you are not rich people regard you as nonentity that is why at times even the good ones will be so frustrated and turn to crime. God save The Fedferal Republic of Nigeria. 3 Likes |

SlyIg: Please what is voodoo?Voodoo is a religion that originates in Africa. In the Americas and the Caribbean, it is thought to be a combination of various African, Catholic and Native American traditions. It is practiced around the world but there is no accurate count of how many people are Voodooists. Voodoo has no scripture or world authority. It is community-centered and supports individual experience, empowerment and responsibility. Voodoo is different in different parts of the world, and varies from community to community. This is mostly about Voodoo in New Orleans and Haiti. Voodoo embraces and encompasses the entirety of human experience. It is practiced by people who are imperfect and may use religion for their own purposes. Racism clouds our view of Voodoo. It is rooted in slavery and intricately connected to this hemisphere's political and social evolution. Voodoo was first practiced in America and the Caribbean by slaves of African descent, whose culture was both feared and ridiculed. Slaves were not considered fully human. Their religion was dismissed as superstition, their priests were denigrated as witchdoctors, their Gods and Spirits were denounced as evil. One of the only successful slave revolutions in modern history occurred in Haiti in the late 1700s. Slaves of African descent overthrew European rulers and took control of the country. Many slaves were Voodooists, and some of their military leaders were priests who inspired and organized their communities to fight for freedom. The Haitian Revolution provoked fear in other European and American colonies that were reliant on vast numbers of slaves as plantation labor. The imagery and vocabulary of Voodoo (and other Afro- Caribbean religions) became threatening and ingrained in those cultures as something horrifying, associated with bloodshed and violence. It was brutally repressed in most places. It became taboo. Over time, American culture became fascinated by this mysterious tradition and began to depict it in movies and books as sensationalized horror. "Voodoo" practices were dreamed up by Hollywood; most of the disturbing images fixed in our minds are something we saw in a movie. Hollywood created a mythology that we have taken as truth. "Voodoo" has become part of modern folklore as something evil that can hurt us. But Voodoo is widely practiced in Haiti, and it is still relevant in politics there. Politics and religion make a controversial mix. In that regard, Voodoo is the same as any belief system. In the U.S., many Voodooists are afraid of how they will be treated so they hide their religion. While this is understandable, it also reinforces suspicion that they practice in secret to conceal something bad or violent. Fear begets fear. 3 Likes |
