Teenage Nigerian girl forced into prostitution.

A 19-year-old Nigerian girl (names withheld) has told a Federal High Court in Lagos how she was lured into prostitution in Burkina Faso.

According to the teenager, she was working as a sales girl in Victoria Island, Lagos before two middle-aged men told her they could help her find a better job abroad.

Police investigations revealed that the two men, Christian Awanebi and Ariwayo Olowede, who pleaded not guilty took her to Burkina Faso sometime in 2011. On getting to Burkina Faso, she was made to have sex with men so she could repay N200,000 (£736) the men claimed to have spent on her travel expenses.

According to her, she had sex with over 10 men daily, charging an equivalent of N5,000 (£19) per person.
She said the men made her take a blood covenant, swearing not to tell anyone about her ordeal.

Lawyer to the accused persons, Mr Mac Johnson asked the court to adjourn the case for cross-examination of the girl. And Justice Saliu Saidu adjourned the case till April 10 for continuation of trial.
