A mental health nurse has been struck off for smuggling a Nigerian woman into Britain to work as a sex slave under the threat of a black magic curse.
Florence Obadiaru, 50, and two other traffickers from an international prostitution ring forced their 23-year-old victim to fly into Heathrow with a bogus passport in September 2011, a tribunal heard.
Before leaving Nigeria the victim was raped and subjected to a ‘ju-ju’ death ritual where gang members told her if she did not pay them £40,000 she would die.
She was promised a job in the UK so she could repay the debt, but when she arrived she was kept at Obadiaru’s house, sexually assaulted and told she was destined to work as a sex slave in Italy.
The ‘horrific’ plan was only thwarted when Italian authorities spotted the victim's forged ID and sent her back to the UK.
Obadiaru was jailed for two years in July 2014 after being convicted of trafficking the woman into the UK for sexual exploitation and arranging for her transfer to Italy.
She has now been struck-off the nursing register after a Nursing and Midwifery Council disciplinary hearing.
Chairman of the panel Robert Barnwell said: ‘You have been convicted of conspiracy to commit a deplorable and horrific crime in which a young woman was trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation, and your conviction goes to the very core of the principles involved in nursing care.

The public interest element in this case is high, and it is important to mark this case and send a clear message that a conviction of such a crime is unacceptable.’
He added: ‘You are a mental health nurse who treats vulnerable individuals, however you failed to help a vulnerable woman who desperately required rescuing.’
Obadiaru, of Brockley, south-east London, had worked as a carer for ten years and had just finished her degree in nursing at Bedford University in Luton.
Her fellow gang members Olusoji Oluwafemi and Johnson Olayinka were jailed for six-and-a-half years and four-and-a-half years respectively in July 2014.

African human trafficking victims are often subjected to rituals to frighten them into believing that something terrible will happen to them or their family if they don’t comply.
Many are subject to debt bonds and stay within their traffickers’ control because they are endlessly paying off huge sums to criminals.
Juju rituals, also known as voodoo or black magic, are deeply-rooted in Nigerian culture, especially in poor and remote regions.
Traditional witchdoctors are employed to oversee the ritual which often sees victims slashed with knives.
Black powder is then rubbed into the bleeding wounds, leaving victims with the belief that the witchdoctor has access to their soul and dreams and could kill them.
Some are forced to drink foul-smelling potions and even had blood taken with syringes to ‘cast a spell’ over them.
Women are told they will die or never bear children if they try to escape or reveal what had happened to them.
In addition to sex slaves, the Met believes there have been more than 80 cases of children abused in attacks fuelled by the medieval beliefs over the last decade.
Officers are worried the abuse has slipped down the agenda since the death of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie in 2000 at the hands of her aunt who branded her a witch.
In 2012, a Congolese couple were jailed for life for the barbaric murder of 15-year-old French schoolboy Kristy Bamu.
He endured four days of almost unimaginable violence after being branded a witch by his sister and her football coach boyfriend.

And she's a psychiatric nurse. A mad woman working as a pyschiatric nurse. What an irony.
