UK Court Jails Two Nigerians For Money Laundering, Human Trafficking
A United Kingdom Crown court has sentenced two Nigerians, Lizzy Idahosa and Jackson Omoruyi to prison for their involvement in human trafficking, sexual exploitation and money laundering offences.
According to a statement issued by the Office of the British High Commission in Abuja convicts were jailed for eight and two years respectively, following a Home Office investigation into the trafficking of Nigerian women into the UK for sexual exploitation.
Idahosa, 24, was sentenced by the Court on November 7 this year, after being found guilty last month of trafficking women to and around the UK, inciting prostitution and money laundering.
Her co-convict, Omoruyi, 41, was also jailed after the jury had found him guilty of two money laundering offences.
The statement by the Head of Communications, British High Commission, Edward Dunn, states further that the investigation began after Home Office Immigration Enforcement officers carried out an operation at the Ambassador Suite Massage Parlour, on City Road, Cardiff, in June 2013.
A Nigerian woman found there told officers she had been trafficked into the UK several years previously by Idahosa and since then had been working in the sex industry.
