An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced a 43-year-old Nigerian woman to five years’ imprisonment for human trafficking and ordered her deportation after she serves her sentence.

Eugenia Ifeoma pleaded guilty to two counts of human trafficking and guilty with explanation to illegal entry into Ghana.

The court convicted her on her own plea.

The prosecution, led by the Ghana Immigration Service, told the court that Ifeoma recruited, transported, and harboured two Nigerian females, aged 19 and 17, for prostitution after bringing them into Ghana through unapproved routes.

The court heard that Ifeoma travelled from Ghana to Nigeria on March 2, 2026, where she met the victim’s brother, who asked her to bring his two sisters to Ghana.

Although she initially declined, she later agreed and paid for their transportation.

Ifeoma took the victims to Asankragua on their arrival in Ghana, supplied them with packs of condoms, and demanded a daily remittance of GH¢200 from their earnings.

The prosecution said she also threatened to send her fetish priest after the victims if they attempted to abscond.

The Ghana Immigration Service at Asankragua arrested Ifeoma following intelligence, and investigations established that she had entered Ghana through unapproved routes.

Explaining her plea on the illegal entry charge, Ifeoma told the court that she was unaware it was an offence to bring others into Ghana.

The trial judge held that the explanation did not amount to a defence, convicted her, and sentenced her to five years’ imprisonment.

The court also ordered her deportation after she completes her custodial sentence.

Human trafficking
Prostitution
Fake drugs
Baby factory
Armed robbery
Drug trafficking......

Ghana must be developed by force

Her plea is funny though. She said she was unaware it was illegal to bring people to Ghana... but that wasn't the reason for her arrest and trial... if she had brought the girls to do legal work through appropriate ways she wouldn't have been arrested.


Who doesn't know prostitution is a crime especially when you coerce the victims and threaten to send fetish priests on them if they fail to deliver or default to remit.



Funny excuse.


She should serve her 5 years and go home!

She didn't know. Nawa for alibi oooo. But she knows how to demand 200 Ghana and threaten the girls with Juju.
Shiorrr

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. I suspect her lawyer misled her to make that kind of plea.


I'm not saying she is innocent. But the plea sounds ridiculous for someone who went to court with a lawyer whose aim was to defend her!

"Ibo people are a curse on Africa " - Thai Police officer to Stanley .

Mbanda you remember that statement made by the Thai police officer I castigating your brother Stanley for selling drugs in Thailand ?

The problem I have with most black people is that, they love worshipping and referencing anything on white skin. I've not verified your yeye statement to know if it is true or not but, let's just imagine it for a second that a Thai police officer actually made such comment.

So, does it mean that ordinary Thai police officer is now your role model because he is wearing a brown skin not even a white skin

Black people with your kind of mentality dey shame me.

Once she's released, she should be arrested immediately she step her feet on Nigeria and charge to Court for this same Crime.

She should be charged for trafficking Nigerians

The punishment is so lenient though

I'm just letting you know a Thai truly made the statement.

If the Thai is your god, nah your cup of tea b that

They want to deflect...

The trending news is the criminal called Gbajagbiamila.

Also the kidnappers took the ransom in oyo State and still refused to release their captives. Even after tge content creator called Sunday IGBOHO, has been exposed to be a fraud and coward.

It will not be well for those that still support APC

Gentle reminder african kings and traders were not happy when slave trade ended. We too like evil things

You think a local lawyer there wanted to really help her?
