An ‘evil’ Nigerian people smuggler who used
witchcraft rituals to force terrified children to
work as sex slaves has been convicted of
trafficking and rape.
Young victims were raped, sexually abused and
subjected to voodoo-style rituals once in the
clutches of the trafficking ring.
One girl had hair cut from her armpits by a man
wearing feathers. Others were slashed with
knives, forced to drink foul-smelling potions and
had blood taken with syringes to ‘cast a spell’
over them.
The girls were told they would die or never bear
children if they tried to escape or revealed what
had happened to them.
The man responsible, Osezua Osolase, 42, was on
the surface a recycling worker living in a terraced
house in Gravesend, Kent. But he was in fact the
British linchpin of a multi-million pound global
child sex trafficking ring that used medieval ‘juju’
black magic to control its victims.
His home was a secret staging post for vulnerable
teenage orphans as they were smuggled from
Africa to several European countries.
Detectives discovered evidence that at least 28
victims were smuggled in and out of Britain by
Osolase over a 14-month period, earning him up
to £1.5million.
But the true figure could run into hundreds as
the paedophile was overheard by one girl
boasting he had been operating for 15 years as
he tried to sell her for £60,000.
This was despite being deported back to Nigeria
in 2007 after police caught him trying to use
stolen credit cards.
Osolase simply married a mysterious German
woman and returned to the country the following
year with a five-year visa. As well as his wife he
had a Nigerian mistress in Catford, South-East
London, who recently gave birth to his son.
The scale of his crimes can be revealed for the
first time after he was convicted at Canterbury
Crown Court yesterday of trafficking three girls
aged 14, 16, and 17.
One was raped and all three endured juju rituals,
including one conducted by Osolase himself. One
feared she was being taken to another country to
be used as a human sacrifice. A jury was told
Osolase slashed the chest of his youngest victim
with a razor and rubbed black powder into her
bleeding wounds.
She was ordered to take an oath of loyalty to him
and believed that if she broke it she would not
have children, go mad and die.
Osolase groomed her after the death of her
parents by visiting her village with presents and
saying she would go to school in Europe.
But he abducted her and said she should prepare
for life as a prostitute in Italy where she would be
raped by ‘white men who smoked drugs’.
The other two girls were terrorised by a local
witchdoctor in Nigeria shortly before being flown
out of the country with promises of an education
and modelling work.
The 16-year-old told police she was taken to a
‘place of witchcraft’ where she was told to bathe
in a ‘bloody gunk’ and wrap blood-soaked cloth
around her.
As Osolase watched, a man wearing feathers on
his head cut hair from her armpits, cut some of
her finger and toenails and took blood from her
hand with a syringe.
She was told that the body parts taken in the
ritual would be used to find and kill her if she
tried to run away or failed to repay her captor.
The 17-year-old wept as she described how she
was tricked into travelling to Britain with the
promise that she would go to school. She was
made to drink a potion laced with blood. Police
found no evidence that Osolase lived a luxury
lifestyle and believe he has hidden the profits of
his crimes in Nigeria.
Dr Hermoine Harris, an expert in Nigerian
religions, told the jury the juju rituals carried huge
weight in Nigerian society. She said: ‘By taking
someone’s blood you hold and control
somebody’s very essence and their power.’
Detective Inspector Eddie Fox said after the case
that Osolase was ‘evil’ and branded him a
‘predatory paedophile’. Osolase was convicted of
five counts of human trafficking, rape and sexual
activity with a child.
He will be sentenced on Monday.
