In a statement to the press, the convict showed remorse for her evil actions and thereby advised other would-be traffickers to change their minds.

“I have made a mistake by bringing my sisters to Benin; I did not know that it was going to end up this way. I just felt that they should keep themselves busy in Benin that was why I fixed them up in that line. When they came to Benin, they realised that I was into prostitution and I told them to do the same. I pray that others will not make the kind of mistake I made”

For months, the court heard behind-closed-door evidence from teenagers aged between 13 and 14 years, accusing the Nigerian, Ediozi of luring little girls off the streets and recruiting them into a brothel which he owned. Once in the brothel, they were forced to smoke crack, which Ediozi manufactured himself.

Once high on the drug, he would rape them by way of initiation into the sex trade “to teach them the tools”. After a while, the girls became addicted to the crack he forced them to smoke and would do whatever he asked in exchange for the drug. That’s how he controlled them.

The girls hardly got anything to eat, since they were paid for their prostitution with drugs and were under lock and key at all times while Ediozi’s boys were out searching for “customers”. This went on for over a year till one of the girls was rescued and two other victims escaped after police raided the premises following a tip-off.
