Gladys Osayande, a Nigerian woman hailing from Benin City, Edo State, has bravely shared the harrowing tale of her captivity and exploitation after being trafficked to Ghana, shedding light on the grim realities faced by victims of human trafficking.
Osayande, recounting her traumatic experience, revealed that she was lured to Ghana under the guise of a fake job recruitment scheme. Once in captivity, she and other victims were subjected to unspeakable forms of physical torture and abuse, coerced into engaging in illicit activities such as Business Email Scams (BEC) and cybersex.
"They made us pose as corporate executives to deceive targets into sending money to designated accounts," Osayande disclosed, detailing the horrific conditions she endured. "Failure to meet their financial quotas resulted in starvation and forced segxwal exploitation."
Her courageous account sheds light on the exploitation and suffering endured by victims of human trafficking, revealing the intricate web of manipulation and coercion employed by traffickers to exploit vulnerable individuals.
Another victim, 23-year-old Uchedun Ndidi from Imo State, shared a similar tale of deception and exploitation. Ndidi, enticed by promises of educational opportunities in Ghana, found herself ensnared in a web of deceit and exploitation upon arrival.
Both survivors' stories underscore the urgent need for concerted efforts to combat human trafficking and protect vulnerable individuals from falling prey to traffickers' schemes.
In response to these alarming trends, Prof. Fatima Waziri-Azi, Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), emphasized the importance of raising awareness and empowering communities to recognize and resist trafficking tactics.
"As part of our comprehensive enlightenment strategies, we must equip Nigerians with timely and accurate information to reduce their vulnerability," Prof. Waziri-Azi stated. "Traffickers are exploiting new tactics to lure unsuspecting victims, predominantly to West African nations, under false pretenses of lucrative employment opportunities."
The harrowing experiences recounted by Osayande, Ndidi, and countless others highlight the urgent need for proactive measures to combat human trafficking and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation and abuse.
