A 42 year old Nigerian man, Osezua Osolase, who carried out witchcraft on teenage girls he trafficked from Nigeria to Europe for prostitution has been jailed for 20 years.

It was recommended by the jury that Mr Osolase be deported once he has served his sentence.

Mr Osolase from Gravesend, Kent is reported to preyed on poverty-stricken orphans with the promise of a better life, Canterbury Crown Court heard.

Judge Adele Williams told him he was devoid of conscience and compassion.

Mr Osolase was found guilty of five counts of trafficking, one of rape and one of sexual activity with a child.

The jury was told in a six-week trial which ended on Friday that West African “juju rituals” were used to instil terror into Osolase’s three vulnerable victims, one aged just 14.

‘Exploitation and degradation’

The judge said the recycling worker, who has HIV, put his victims “in fear” to force their obedience and secure their silence.

“You were dealing in exploitation and manipulation and degradation,” she told Mr Osolase.

“You are undoubtedly a very, very dishonest man. You are arrogant and manipulative; you are devoid of conscience, devoid of any compassion to your victims.”

The judge said Mr Osolase treated the girls as objects to be sold as sex slaves. The fact that he raped one girl knowing he had HIV was a “seriously aggravating” feature.

Mr Osolase is alleged to take the girls to his home in Gravesend before sending them to work as prostitutes in mainland Europe.

The court had heard girls were trafficked into the UK and taken to Mr Osolase’s home in Gravesend before being sent to work as prostitutes in mainland Europe.

One of the girls described the Juju ceremony performed on her in Nigeria. During the ritual, samples of blood were extracted from the girl and her head hair and pubic hair were also cut.

She was then told to swear an oath of silence.

Mr Osolase was stopped at Stansted airport in April 2011 attempting to board a plane.

Anthony Orchard QC, defending, said Mr Osolase disclosed that he had HIV voluntarily to police.

“Mr Osolase acknowledges and regrets the consequences of his actions in relation to taking the girls out of the UK, and he has to bear the consequences of those actions,” Mr Orchard told the court.

This is sickening! I hope the child didn't contract the dreaded virus from him. Animals like this keep making life difficult for other Nigerians. Yet some would come in and castigate others who feel ashamed to be identified as Nigerian.

I pray that he never gets antiretroviral drugs in Nigeria and that his conditions speeds up and develop into full blown AIDS!

Well, that isn't really justice, is it? He would still be feeding fat and watching satellite television and access to gym to keep fit in prison all at the expense of the UK tax payer. He would also get his condition seen to and assured of treatment for his disease. 20years is just a holiday for a demon such as himself. He should have been made to serve his time in 'kiri-kiri' and not in the UK. The human rights convention would protect him from any real punishment.

Well, the crime was committed in UK and he was caught there, so he has to serve there. Lucky him I would say, even though he has to serve in Naija, is there really true justice in Nigeria?

The heart of man is wicked

Nope! But there is jungle justice, which would be apt for an animal such as this.

And that would only be possible if he has no money to bribe his way through ooooo or any strong ties with any gov't office holder of high hierarchy oooo. Anything is possible in Naija as long as money is involved ooooo, don't dull.
