Nigerian convicted of trafficking, rape in Britain

A Nigerian, Osezua Osolase,42, has been convicted of trafficking Nigerian teenage girls into britain and using them as sex slaves after terrifying them with rituals.
According to the UK Daily Mail, Osolase was on
Friday convicted at the Canterbury Crown Court of
trafficking three girls aged 14, 16, and 17 and would
be sentenced on Monday.
Detectives were said to have discovered evidence
that at least 28 victims were smuggled in and out of
Britain by Osolase over a 14-month period, earning
him up to £1.5m.
The true figure of his victims could however, run
into hundreds as the convict was overheard by one
girl boasting he had been operating for 15 years as
he tried to sell her for £60,000.
It was also discovered that Osolase was deported to
Nigeria in 2007 after police caught him trying to use
stolen credit cards.
But he was said to have married a mysterious
German woman and returned to the country the
following year with a five-year visa.
Investigators said on the surface, Osolase was a
recycling worker living in a terraced house in
Gravesend, Kent. But he was in fact “The British
linchpin of a multi-million pound global child sex
trafficking ring that used medieval ‘juju’ black magic
to control its victims.”
One of the girls testified that hair was cut from her
armpits by a man wearing feathers. Others were
slashed with knives, forced to drink foul-smelling
potions and had blood taken with syringes to ‘cast a
spell’ over them.
The girls were reportedly told they would die or
never bear children if they tried to escape or
revealed what had happened to them.
According to the reports, one of the girls was raped
and all three endured juju rituals, including one
conducted by Osolase himself.
A jury was told Osolase slashed the chest of his
youngest victim with a razor and rubbed black
powder into her bleeding wounds.
She was ordered to take an oath of loyalty to him
and believed that if she broke it she would not have
children, go mad and die.
Osolase groomed her after the death of her parents
by visiting her village with presents and saying she
would go to school in Europe.
He, however, abducted her and said she should
prepare for life as a prostitute in Italy where she
would be raped by “white men who smoked drugs.”
The other two girls were said to have been
terrorised by a local witchdoctor in Nigeria shortly
before being flown out of the country with
promises of an education and modelling work.
The 16-year-old told police she was taken to a ‘place
of witchcraft’ where she was told to bathe in a
‘bloody gunk’ and wrap blood-soaked cloth around
her.
The 17-year-old reportedly wept as she described
how she was tricked into travelling to Britain with
the promise that she would go to school. She said
she was made to drink a potion laced with blood.
Police reportedly found no evidence that Osolase
lived a luxury lifestyle and believe he has hidden the
profits of his crimes in Nigeria.
