6 arrested over ‘juju’ prostitution ring after gang branded women with irons then forced them into slavery

  • Tortured women and scared them with curses  to force them on to streets
  • Women were taken from Nigeria and  transported to Spain
  • Told them would be cursed if they broke  voodoo spell

Spanish police say they have broken up a ring  that smuggled in women from Nigeria and forced them into street prostitution by  burning them with irons and using voodoo rituals.

The gang tortured the women and scared them  with curses to force them on to the streets.

Six people, including one woman believed to  be a ringleader-  were arrested after one of the women alerted  authorities.

‘The control exercised over women was total,  involving verbal threats as well as physical violence and various voodoo  ceremonies to terrorise  them,’ police said in a statement.

‘The ring caused them serious injury through  bites or by using an iron to cause second-degree burns.’

The ring allegedly recruited women in Benin  City, a run-down Nigerian  port, reported Sky News.

Most of the women were vulnerable struggling  to raise children because their husbands and fathers had died.

The gang transported the women over land to  Morocco.

From there they were smuggled them  on to  small wooden boats and taken into Spain.

They were forced to work as  street  prostitutes in Barcelona and Malaga.

Spanish police have swooped several times in  past years on similar prostitution rings that used the threat of voodoo curses.

Often the victims are taken to shrines ad  told to leave items behind – they are told this gives the voodoo pirests power  to harm them from afar.

They are instructed they need to pay their  debts and forced to join a prostitution ring – the women fear breaking their  promise will hold catastrophic consequences for both them and their  families.

Sex gangs often use a form of witchcraft or  juju to scare their ‘slaves’ into working for them.

Last year, a Nigerian people smuggler who  used witchcraft rituals to force children to work as sex slaves was jailed for  20 years in Britain,

Osezua Osolase, 42, tricked poverty-stricken  Nigerian orphans into travelling to the UK with the promise of a better  life.

But the young victims were raped, sexually  abused and subjected to voodoo-style rituals by a child trafficking  ring.

Osolase, the linchpin of a multi-million  pound global sex trafficking ring, used ‘juju’ magic to control his  victims.

He told the teenage girls they would die or  never bear children if they tried to escape or revealed what had happened to  them.
