In
2014, Precious, completed her university education and the National
Youth Service Corps programme in Edo State. Precious, as she identified
herself while nude in a video, decided to seek better opportunity
outside Nigeria. Precious convinced her parents to finance her desire to
travel. Her mother had no option than to support her by processing the
needed travel documents to her dreamland.
On
August 28, 2014, the naïve, young and pretty lady was ordered to stand
naked in front of a camera by one of the most notorious Nigerian sex
slave and human traffickers in Dubai, Esther Nicole Otubo. The video
recordings of this innocent girl were to blackmail her and other girls
under her “PROSTITUTION BUSINESS EMPIRE” in case they refused to pay
their daily dividends to her. Precious hopelessly agreed to Otubo’s
terms of engagement, as captured in the video transcript:
Esther Nicole: What’s your name?
Precious: Precious.
Esther Nicole: Precious, which part of Nigeria are you from?
Precious: Edo State
Esther Nicole: Okay. Where are you right now?
Precious: Dubai.
Esther Nicole: Dubai? What did you come to do here?
Precious: Prostitution.
Esther Nicole: Prostitution. Were you forced to come here?
Precious: No.
Esther Nicole: You agreed on your own to come here. Did you go for swearing (sic)?
Precious: Yes.
Esther Nicole: Who and you (sic) went for the swearing?
Precious: Me and my parents
Esther Nicole: You and who?
Precious: Me and my mother (sic)
Esther Nicole: Okay …so you just arrived in Dubai, yeah?
Precious: Yes
Esther Nicole: What’s today’s date?
Precious: August 28, 2014.
Esther Nicole: So this is to show that this is what you came to do here and you are going to abide by the rules in this house. Do you agree?
Precious: Yes ma.
Esther Nicole: And
when you are done paying your money, everything here would be deleted,
but if you go against the laws in this house, this would be published
and sent to your family. Do you agree?
Precious: Yes ma.
Esther Nicole: Okay. Thank you very much.

Ugwuonye, an attorney, is representing Precious. Ugwuonye, through his
advocacy group, Due Process Advocates, is in the lead to hunt and
prosecute these Nigerian ‘Dubai Madams’ who are involved in the sex
slavery and human trafficking of young naïve Nigerian women desperately
but innocently seeking to better their lives.
He told me,
“Jebose, I have videos of two different girls recorded under the most debasing conditions, naked and scared. What Nicole does is to videotape these girls in the nude and blackmail them into prostitution in Dubai. This woman is like none that you have come across before. She is a ‘Madam’ and a human trafficker. She takes desperate young Nigerian girls on a sex slave mission to Dubai or other Middle Eastern countries for prostitution. Before they leave Nigeria, she would first make the girls and their parents swear an oath at a local shrine in the belief that such would place a curse of sudden death on those girls were they to disobey her. The total amount she plans to get from each girl is about $30,000.
“The girl is to become a prostitute, make money from her ‘clients’ and keep giving such money to the woman until she agrees she has received $30,000 from the girl. This Madam uses blackmail as an additional means of enforcing her plan. She would take a video recording of each girl, who would have been made to stand stark naked. She would tell each girl that if she failed to pay her $30,000 when she gets to Dubai or elsewhere, she would release the video tape on Facebook and would delete it when she eventually gets paid.“These girls apparently agree to this. I use the word “apparently” on purpose to raise questions about the voluntariness of these girls’ participation in this. Ostensibly, some of these girls have not paid the Madam all the money she demanded of them. That must have been what led Madam to release that video on Facebook. I have seen videos of three girls in such humiliation. People forwarded them to me in order for me to use DPA to help track down the woman that is behind all this.“There are many, many Nigerian girls suffering under her control. These girls lack the ability to cry out. They are in slavery and bondage. We must set them free and we must have the ‘Madam’ arrested.”Ugwuonye also identified a second ‘Madam’ in this Dubai commercial sex deal gone bad.He added, “Madam Ann, which is the only name we have of her, has five girls under her control. Madam Ann lodges her girls in a three-star hotel while she would stay at home and offer them men in exchange for cash. After each girl must have slept with four or five men, Madam Ann would come and collect the money they would have made from them.“The hotels cannot be busted by the Dubai Police. These Madams change hotels like every two days to remain undetected. Any girl that stays in the hotel for more than four days would be expected to leave because of the slow sex seekers’ traffic. The hotel’s members of staff may not know what is going on. So if there are steady traffic of clients in the hotel and to a particular room, after two days, the hotel would notice and ask the girls to leave. The only things they take to the hotels are sexy lingerie to entice customers.”Source: Punch
