CALABAR— FOUR Teenage girls, who were
tricked into prostitution in a notorious
Calabar brothel, Vegas Flex, weekend
recounted how they sleep with more than
20 men daily and how their ‘Madam’ collects
the money.
The girls, Felicia Nzuworgar, 17; Patience
Williams, 18; Angela Benjamin, 17 and Charity
Nkwogor all from Okun Local Government
Area of Benue state said Abigail Aliyu whom
they call “Chair Lady” took them from their
homes in Benue State in January this year
on the pretext that she was taking them to
Lagos to work as sales girls in her drinking
spot, but ended up as sex workers in the
brothel located at 26 Bedwell Street, Calabar.
One of the girls, Felicia, told Vanguard, “the
woman told me that she has a beer parlour
in Lagos and wanted me to work as sales girl
there, but when we got here she gave me
boxer shorts to wear and when I asked her
where the drinking parlour is for me to start
working, she said I should hustle like other
girls by sleeping with men and when I
refused she beat me up.”
The girls, with different cane marks on their
bodies, said the lady beat them to
submission, adding that when they started it
was very painful as they were not used to
sleeping with such large number of men daily.
Patience recounting her experience said
“Every day we sleep with over twenty men for
N500.00 each and because we are young,
men do line up to have us. At about 12
midnight, ‘Chair Lady’ will come in and
collect the money, because she counts the
condoms she gives to us, if you do not give
her all the money she will beat you
mercilessly.”
File: arrested suspects
The girls said Abigail and the men working
for her normally, searched their room and
their bodies at the close of each day to
ensure they had not hidden any money and
beaten if any money was found on them.
They said Abigail on arrival in Calabar
collected their phones and did not allow any
of them to step outside the brothel for fear
that they might run away. They said when
Angela and Charity attempted to escape that
they were beaten to a state of
unconsciousness by the woman and some of
her male friends.
Angela said “ When I tried running away,
she brought a soldier and a policeman, who
are her boyfriends, and they beat me up and
poured tear gas in my eyes. I later fell sick
because of that beating for many days”.
On why they followed the woman without
letting their parents know, they said once the
woman touched them on the shoulders they
became confused and went with her.
“ I was walking in our market in Okun Local
Government Area when she greeted me and
touched me on the shoulder and that was how
I followed her and we entered vehicle to
Enugu to the house of a juju man, who
prepared a medicine (concoction) for us to
drink which she said was to protect us from
sickness, but when we got to Calabar, she
said if we run away the medicine the man
gave us will make our private part to rot,”
Charity narrated.
But the Ebonyi State born, “Chair Lady” ,
Abigail Aliyu , said her arrest by operatives of
the Anti Human Trafficking operatives of the
Cross River State Police Command was due
to jealousy, adding that she was not the one
that brought the girls to Calabar.
Mr John Eluu, Cross River State Police Public
Relations Officer, said the woman will soon
be charged to court after investigation and
warned youths to be cautious and not go with
anyone who promises them jobs in Lagos or
any other town without any proof.

There is more to these everybody involved must be arrested the said force men that could have rescued them both aided the trafficker in restraining the young girls should be arrested and made to face the law with her that's aiding criminality
