'A MAJOR BREAK IN THE TRACKING OF THE DUBAI MADAMS AND THEIR AGENTS
- A KEY MADAM REVEALED AS A SOCIALITE WITH APPARENT CONNECTIONS TO NIGERIAN POLITICIANS.
I wish I always had good news to report to you, but our world has
as much evil in it that it is impossible to keep to that wish. Today, I
am ready to make public some snippets of the outcome of a long standing
investigation we have been pursuing on the Dubai Madams, their agents
and sex-trafficking / sex slavery in Dubai, Greece and Italy with
connections to Nigeria.
The report of my investigation was not to be released until the end
of January. But events have forced me to act sooner by disclosing the
identity of, by far, one of the major master-minds and super agents in
the human trafficking rings with Nigeria and abroad. This woman goes by
different names to various people. To the 15 girls in UAE, Italy and
Greece that we have linked to her, she is known as “Aunty Lolly”.
To some people that have worked with her in Dubai, she is simply
“Lolly”. To those who have worked for her, she is “Madam” or “Aunty”. To
the ordinary people who meet her on social network, she is Lauretta
Onochie. These various names belong to the woman whose pictures are
shown here. She maintains a Facebook page in which she projects herself
as a sympathizer of the Nigerian ruling party.
On the surface, judging by our apparent silence in the past three
months, one might think that we had given up on our fight against the
Dubai Madams and their agents in Nigeria. But far from it. You must know
that I have been representing the two girls, whose n*de video clips
outraged the world. When you undertake such tasks, you cannot give up
easily. I had thus continued deep underground investigation of the
Madams while preparing a major legal challenge to their operations. I
needed to do that because I owed professional obligation to those girls
and I have a task in this group to fight human trafficking.
It has not been easy to fight the war against human trafficking.
The first obstacle we have had is that the victims are too ashamed, too
scared and two poor to come out to tell their stories. I managed to have
inbox exchanges that run into volumes and thousands of pages with these
victims. Gradually, they began to trust and to find the confidence to
tell their stories. Even at that, they remain vulnerable to law
enforcement agencies both in the countries where they are and back here
in Nigeria if they were to attempt to come back. They are fugitives,
made so by others. They are outcasts, hunted by law enforcement,
exploited by the wicked traffickers and their agents, and despised by
all else.
The second challenge we have is that those who engage in human
trafficking – the Madams and their Agents in Nigeria – are very powerful
people. They belong to powerful networks of criminal gangs,
politicians, financiers and racketeers. They are savvy. They have
incredible ability to intimidate and awe anyone who dares them. Because
of their access to powerful people, they have posed a major threat to me
personally and to any group that tries to fight them. This has been so
abundantly revealed through my investigations both here in Nigeria and
foreign countries like the UAE, Italy and Greece.
Ms. Lauretta Onochie is clever as much as she could be cruel and
mean-spirited her victims. As part of her cleverness, she has associated
herself with the Abuja politicians. She likes photo-up opportunities
with the most powerful politicians, including Presidents and Vice
Presidents. Even though these politicians may not know about the details
of her connections with the international human trafficking rings, this
woman uses her pictures with the powerful people as a key instrument of
shining her credibility and intimidating the victims of human
trafficking and their families. Seeing a picture of her and the
President is enough to silence the parents of a victim of human
trafficking. That is enough to silence any official likely to ask
questions. That is enough to get any curious immigration official who
intercepts her girls to let them go unstopped. That is enough to cause
you and I to believe that she cannot kill an ant. Yet, she is a vicious
trafficker of poor girls into international prostitution.
My attention was first drawn to Lolly in August of last year. But
she was just a mirage them. She was simply defined vaguely as the big
Madam. Instead of getting to her, my investigation led me to one Ms.
Blessing (which is certainly not her real name – just the name they give
the girls). Blessing works for Aunty Lolly; that was the information I
had. I pursued Ms. Blessing and the information I shared with the
authorities led to the arrest of Blessing with 3 girls at the airport in
October. (I reported this arrest before, but then I had not known who
Lolly was). But my curiosity was triggered further when Blessing and the
three girls were released in less than 24 hours. And Blessing vanished
into the thin air. I knew there was a bigger fish behind the scenes. I
returned to my contacts in Dubai. Again the investigation kept coming to
one Lolly.
We came to the conclusion that whoever Lolly was, she must be a big
player in the business. This is the business of recruiting young girls,
promising them good life in Dubai and elsewhere, swearing their parents
to shrines, selling them off for $5000 to $15000, making nude videos of
them and using thugs to intimidate their parents back here in Nigeria,
and making sure that immigration officials are bribed at the airport to
let the girls through despite being underage. Two girls we have been
tracking in Italy apparently came through a Lolly by another sub-agent,
not Blessing. This suggests that the Lolly is big in the business. We
would not have suspected that Lauretta Onochie could be the Lolly for
many reasons. Lauretta Onochie based on her Facebook presence looked
like a decent lady. Her support for President Buhari seems so honorable
and something we would not expect from someone in the business of human
trafficking. But something yielded in three days ago, which resolved the
puzzle within 3 days.
As you well know from at least one previous incident, the Dubai
Madams had attempted to mount a major reputational or credibility attack
on my person. Their goal was simply to wage a scandal campaign against
me and to project me as a bad person. This was their way of discouraging
their girls from dealing with me and to scatter my social media support
base, as well as to get certain officials working with me to develop
cold feet. They made various efforts and have spreading various
fabricated stories against me. In other words, they have always planned
serious of information attack against me. I have to recognize that they
are brilliant and quite organized in this.
In a last bid in this effort, Lauretta Onochie brilliantly
recruited a number of person who have grudges against me, especially
some people that were removed from our Facebook group. She recruited a
man I removed from the group after so many complaints from married women
that he sexually harassed them. She recruited a man in New York, whom I
almost sent to jail for beating his wife and nearing killing her. She
recruited Anne Nkwocha, a former DPA admin that I removed for gross
misconduct. They has these people and more lined up in the information
attacks against me. (I have sms from Anne Nkwocha to confirm their
plot). I don’t think that these recruits are involved in human
trafficking. They are just people angry with me, and Lauretta identified
them.
The attack on me was launched on Sunday morning on the Facebook
walls of Lauretta Onoshie. My mind went to the most important project I
have at hand, which has been so sensitive I have had to pursue it
discretely. That was my work on the Dubai cases. By Tuesday morning, I
had to confront the girls. I started with one girl I has been reluctant
to tell me much. I assure her of protection if she would talk. She was
prepared to talk. But I suggested that she should simply send me the
Facebook profile picture of Aunty Lolly. Low and behold: there she was –
Lauretta Onochie, as in the Facebook page.
I couldn’t believe my eyes as I looked at the picture of Lauretta
Onochie. I had to control my excitement. I needed further verification. I
sent her pictures to many of the girls we are in contact with, asking
for them to confirm if they knew the person on the pictures. Two girls
in Greece, one girl in Italy and four in UAE have responded to my
querry. They all said that was Aunty Lolly. Note that the girls in UAE
did not know about the girls in Greece or Italy – the girls did not know
about the other girls in the other countries. But wait. You haven’t
heard the last.
After my court activities in Abuja on Thursday, I was so tired, not
having slept since Monday. I got to my hotel and fell into a very deep
sleep from 6pm to 11pm. I woke up and logged on to Facebook. I had a
message from someone I had never known before. The message was simple:
“Sir, the lady attacking you on her Facebook is a Madam. Be careful.” I
responded: “Which lady is attacking me?”. The person just got back to me
and confirmed it was Lauretta Onochie'.
