Three Nigerian women trafficked to Mali under the guise of securing legitimate jobs have recounted harrowing experiences of sexual exploitation, torture and abuse, after returning home through the intervention of the Global Anti-Human Trafficking Organisation, GAHTO.
The victims, identified as Becky, 35, Blessing, 24, and Miracle Yakubu, 23, narrated how they were deceived by traffickers who promised them decent jobs in Lagos, only to force them into prostitution, after transporting them across several borders into Mali.
