Woman found guilty of people trafficking after forcing two Nigerian women into prostitution by making them eat snakes

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 08:51 AM PDT

24 year old Lizzy Idahosa (pictured left) and her husband Jackson Omoruyi, 41 (pictured right), have been found guilty of trafficking in people after they forced two Nigerian women into prostitution by making them eat snakes in a black magic ceremony, UK Daily Mail reports.

Lizzy and Jackson, according to reports, made more than £70,000 out of the women, who were made see a witchdoctor for a sinister 'juju' ceremony.

Jackson was convicted of trafficking the women, inciting them to become prostitutes and transferring criminal property, while Lizzy was found guilty of money laundering. Both are now facing jail...
 

From UK Daily Mail
During the couple's trial at Cardiff Crown Court, the jury was told that the two victims, aged 23 and 29, had their pubic hair shaved and forced to eat live snakes and snails as part of the ritual, and then flown to Britain in the belief that they were going to find a better life.
However, when they 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.
'The couple were involved in the exploitation of two women brought into the UK from Nigeria to work as prostitutes,' said Caroline Rees, prosecuting, during the trial.
'They were bound to this by something called a juju ritual. It was a ceremonial ritual used to full effect to terrify both women into doing what was demanded of them.
'It was used to ensure compliance, secrecy, and they believed if they broke the bond dire consequences would follow: illness, madness, infertility or death.
'They genuinely believed the powers would work.'
The offences came to light after police arrested a 23-year-old Nigerian woman at the Ambassador Suite brothel in Cardiff, in June 2013.
She told officers she had been living rough in Nigeria after her mother died and had wanted to travel to the UK to find her father.
She had then met a woman, claiming to be Idahosa's sister, who promised to make arrangements for her to travel to London, and as part of the agreement had to take part in the ceremony. 
'She did not know what was expected of her,' said Ms Rees, who said the woman had been able
She was taken to a premises full of women dressed in their underwear. There was no explanation as to what was going on but it soon became clear.'
The woman started to work as a prostitute and was forced to have sexual intercourse with seven or eight men every day, working in brothels across the UK, including in Cardiff and Swansea.
When interviewed, she claimed she had given Idahosa £45,000.
The second victim told the court she had paid the defendants £31,400 over two years after working in brothels in Cardiff, Swansea, Barking and East Croydon, and said she had worked in South Wales for a year and eight months.
The woman, who like her fellow victim cannot be named for legal reasons, said she had stopped working and changed her sim card so Idahosa could not contact her.
However, within a month she received a phone call from her mother in Nigeria.
'I had a call from my mum who told me Lizzy's people had been to her house and threatened her,' the victim told the jury. 
'Lizzy said if I did not pay her she would kill my mum and make me go mad.'
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.
'It was only when I told them I was trafficked into the country that I found out they were trafficked,' she said.
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.
She said: 'I wouldn't do the things they say I did because I've been through it.'
The jury was told that cash payments of several hundred pounds a time had been deposited into Omoruyi's account from locations all over the country, including Glasgow, Sheffield and Southampton.

Dettol launches ‘Give Life A Hand’ campaign to foster good hygiene culture in Nigerians

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 06:57 AM PDT

It is Global Handwashing Day today!!!  In commemoration of October 15 as Global Handwashing day, leading global antiseptic brand, Dettol; from the stables of Reckitt Benckiserhas launchedthe"Give Life a Hand Campaign" to further strengthen its commitment to  improved best hygiene practices and hand washing habits in Nigeria. (pic above -   Pupils with Nollywood Actress and Brand Ambassador, Patience Ozokwor, General Manager, West Africa, Reckitt Benckiser, Rahul Murgai; Marketing Director, West Africa, Reckitt Benckiser, Oguzhan Silivrili and Nollywood Actress/Producer, Omoni Oboli)

Give Life A Handis a global digital campaign aimed at raising awareness of the importance of hand hygiene in the prevention of needless deaths of children under the age of five from preventable illnesses such as diarrhea and acute respiratory infections, often caused by poor hygiene. 
Speaking at a media parley, the General Manager, West Africa, Reckitt Benckiser, Mr. Rahul Murgai, said "as Reckitt Benckiser, makers of Dettol, our global vision is to have a world where people are healthier and live better. In achieving this, we will continue to make a difference by giving people innovative solutions for healthier lives and happier homes."

According to him,Dettol has been at the forefront of providing health and hygiene messages via its products and initiatives to Nigeria for the last 50 years.

 Mama Gee with a Pupil of Royal Master's Schools
"Keeping in line with the spirit of our vision and heritage in Nigeria, we initiated our MOMentum campaign in 2014;a pledge to save 10 million lives helping Nigeria reach its Millennium Development Goals in terms of reducing infant mortality rate. As the next step to our commitment to improving the awareness of best hygiene practices in Nigeria, we are delighted to launch today our new Give Life A Hand campaign in Nigeria", he added.

While shedding light on Dettol's involvement in the Global Handwashing Day Initiative, Marketing Director, West Africa, Reckitt Benckiser, Mr. Oguzhan Silivrili, said the campaign has been carefully conceptualised to amplify the key message of this year's Global Handwashing Day, with the theme'Choose handwashing, choose health'.

''According to a consumer study, regular handwashing is only limited with 4% in Nigeria.  Regular handwashing is the first line of defence from preventable diseases like Diarrhea, to the latest menace of Ebola Virus Disease. If we want to protect our children from getting sick, the first thing to do is to educate them about washing their hands properly."

 "Promoted on a wide enough scale, handwashing with soap can be thought of as a 'do-it-yourself' vaccine because it is easy, effective, and affordable.Ingraining the habit of handwashing could save more lives than any single vaccine or medical intervention. A vast change tilting towards handwashing behaviour is therefore critical to meeting the Millennium Development Goal of reducing two-third of deaths among children under the age of five by 2015", Silivrili added.
Silivrili continued that Give Life A Hand campaign will be specifically leveraged through the social media platforms to intensify the education of many moreNigerian children on healthy hand washing habits via the Hashtag #handfie.

Representative of the Global Hygiene Council, Dr. NneomaIdika while giving her speech at the unveiling of the Dettol Global Campaign charged that good hand hygiene practices be imbibed as it is a sure way to live healthy and save lives.

'Handwashing is the most effective and inexpensive way to prevent diarrhea and acute respiratory infections, which claim the lives of millions of children every year. This is why the culture of handwashing with soap like Dettol soap be embraced' Dr. Nneoma stated.

In the same vein, Dettol Marketing Manager, West Africa, Reckitt Benckiser, Ahmed Wahap Shah, said Dettol has been already running mass consumer education programmes to educate the moms and their kids about the handwashing habits. These include the New Mom Programme where five million mums have been reached since 2006 by teaching them good hygiene habits for themselves and their new born babies.

Through the Health on Wheels Programme, he revealed that another 150,000 families have been reached via the Mobile Clinic activation while almost a million children have been reached this year across schools in Nigeria via the School Hand Hygiene Programme. He said a total of three million children had been reached since the programme started in 2010. 

''Give Life A Hand campaign will be an add-on to the existing programmes to reach out millions more through the power of Digital'', Ahmed stated.

''For every #handfie shared via social media platforms, Dettol pledges to educate a child in Nigeria on healthy handwashing habits. The more #handfie shared, the more kids will be educated. The process is open to everyone and simple as taking a picture of clean hand(s), and upload on Twitter, Facebook and/or Instagram using the Hashtag #handfie'', he said

Dettol, the world's number one antiseptic brand is renowned for protecting millions of families from germs globally and in Nigeria.

Photos: $1.69m Fraud Charge: Court Frees Fred Ajudua

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 06:18 AM PDT

A Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja this morning October 15th discharged and acquitted Fred Ajudua of a $1.69m fraud charge brought against him in 2003 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Ajudua is alleged to have duped two dutch businessmen of $1.69m which he and his alleged partner Charles Orie claimed will help facilitate government contracts worth $18m.


The case was closed today after the EFCC Counsel, Mrs E.A Sanusi appealed for the withdrawal of the case since no foreign witness was willing to come forward to testify against Ajudua. Following the appeal by the EFCC counsel, the presiding judge, Justice Kudirat Ajose ordered that Mr Ajudua be discharged of the charges.

Meanwhile a sister case where Ajudua is accused of defrauding a former Chief of Army staff, Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi of $8.4m while they were both serving prison time at the Kirikiri prison in Lagos between November 2004 and June 2005 is still before Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye.

It's annoying that Christians are criticizing Oritsejafor for owning a jet' - Pastor Taiwo Odukoya

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 03:52 AM PDT

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya of Fountain of Life Church says he find it annoying that Christians keep criticizing CAN leader, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor for owing a private jet.

Pastor Odukoya said this yesterday Oct 14th while speaking at the media parley for the launch of the Fountain Initiative for Social Development,a social enterprise being championed by his wife, Nomthi. He also talked about the Sosoliso plane crash that killed his late wife Pastor Bimbo in Dec. 2005.
"It's been years, what is the outcome of the investigations into the Sosoliso air crash? If anybody whether you are a leader or not, and you do what is wrong, we won't endorse it. I don't agree that he was wrong. Nigeria is considered to be a country with the highest number of private jets, if not, we are known with a good number in the world. How do you handle that?

"For some, getting a private jet is for business. They give it to companies that will handle all aspects of maintenance including the hangar and then they run it as business. That was exactly what he did. Apart from that, why would such a person have a jet .You want me to tell you? Why would Baba Enoch Adeboye or Pastor David Oyedepo need a jet? My wife (late Bimbo Odukoya) is dead. She was going to preach when she crashed and died. Would we rather allow that our people die right all over Africa? What is annoying is that those who are criticizing Oritsejafor are Christians. We question their Christianity. You don't want him to have a jet. You want another plane crash to kill him? My father in the Lord, Bishop Mike Okonkwo will travel by road from Lagos to Benin Republic and he would be delayed only to enter one rickety plane at the end of the day. We don't want another person to die. If you want to buy Concord or space jet, buy it. It is the corruption in the system that allows people to get away with wrong doing," he said.
