Lizzy and Omoruyi
26-year-old Nigerian UK-based brothel boss, Lizzy Idahosa, who not
only used voodoo curses to force young girls to become s*x slaves, but
also made them eat live snakes, has been ordered to pay back more than
£20,000 out of her profits.
Reports revealed that she made more than £186,000 out of the
Nigerian women who were terrified with black magic and made to see a
witch doctor for a sinister 'juju ceremony.
It was disclosed that her 23-year-old and 29-year-old victims, had
their pubic hair shaved and were forced to eat live snakes and snails as
part of the ritual before being flown to Britain where they slept with
men across the country.
She was found guilty of trafficking the women at Cardiff Crown
Court and was jailed for eight years in November 2014 while her
41-year-old husband, Jackson Omoruyi, was sentenced to two years.
Eugene Egan, a prosecutor, told Cardiff Crown Court that
investigators could find only £21,900 in Idahosa’s bank accounts. Judge
Tom Crowther ordered Idahosa to pay the cash traced to her accounts or
face a further nine months in prison.
The couple
29-year-old victim who spoke about her horrific ordeal, said: "It
was not a big snake, but it was alive. I just closed my eyes and put it
in my mouth. They told me if I messed up, I would get sent back to
Nigeria and Lizzy would kill me. I wanted to stop. I was ashamed of
myself and I had no life."
When the women arrived in the UK they were put to work as
prostitutes, working in brothels at massage parlours across England and
Wales. They were told they had to give all the money they earned to
Idahosa, and believed the black magic curses would make them go insane
or die if they refused.
Idahosa and Omoruyi, who were arrested at their home in London,
denied any wrong doing. But police checked their bank accounts and found
a series of transfers with Omoruyi acting as a 'financial middle man'.
Idahosa had denied forcing the women to take part in a black magic
ceremony, but claimed that she herself had been trafficked into the UK
and forced to work as a prostitute. She told the jury she did not know
the two women had been trafficked.
Idahosa, who is heavily pregnant, said she made an oath with her
trafficker before leaving Nigeria and was forced to eat the roast heart
of a cockerel.
