Six Nigerian young ladies have been come back to the country after taken to Burkina Faso where they were they taken to work as whores by a lady named Balikis.

While the young ladies join their guardians in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Wednesday, the Comptroller of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Oyo State Command, Innocent Akatu, said the young ladies were deceived to leave Nigeria, that they did not inform their guardians concerning their journey.

Akatu said the young ladies declined to engage in prostitution in Ouagadougu, Burkina-Faso, subsequently were locked in a room by the trafficker.

He included that their journey back home following three weeks started when one of them got away and informed the Burkinabe police.

He said,
THE GIRLS

“The victims, after being smuggled to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, discovered that they were going to be used for prostitution. They were not even told that they were going to Burkina Faso. These girls were told that they would be given lucrative jobs abroad; one of them was told that she was going to manage a jewellery shop owned by her trafficker.
“One of them was taken from her home in Ikorodu, Lagos State, and driven to Saki in Oyo State. When she asked why it had taken them so long to reach the airport, she was told that the plane had left and that they would have to travel by road.
“The Nigerian embassy assisted in arranging emergency travelling documents for them to return to Nigeria after their lucky escape. We have taken them to the hospital for screening and they are HIV negative.”
One of the girls, Ganiyat Samuel, said she was living with her grandmother in Ikorodu before she embarked on the journey secretly without informing her grandma.
She said, “A woman, called Balikis, came to me and said that I would make more money as a fashion designer if I travel outside Nigeria. I told her that I had no passport, but she said that she would take care of it. I did not tell any of my parents.
“When we got to Saki, she said she could not get a passport for me because the office had closed. We travelled for two days to get to Burkina Faso. She took me to her house and told me that I would have to do HIV test. The test revealed that I was pregnant, but HIV negative. She told me that she brought me to the country for prostitution and that I would have to abort the pregnancy. I refused and she locked me in a room. When she brought another Nigerian a week later, I helped the girl to escape and she alerted the police. The police rescued us and arrested the woman.”
