These Nigerian Teenagers Were Made Sex Slaves and Forced to Sleep With 20 Men Everyday

Four girls have been rescued from a Nigerian woman Abigail Nweke Alo, aka Chairlady, who allegedly ran a brothel in Calabar. They were taken from their homes in January and stayed in captivity for six months.

The girls are Felicia Nzuworgar, 17, Patience Williams, 18, Angela Benjamin, 17 and Charity Nkwogor, all from Okun and Vandeikya Local Government Areas of Benue State.

In an interview with Vanguard, the girls told gory stories of how they were taken from their homes in Benue by Chairlady who claimed to own a beer parlour in Lagos. She allegedly said she was employing them as sales girls but moved them down to Calabar to work as prostitutes.

According to 17-year-old Felicia:

“I was selling oranges in our market in Okun when she tapped me on the shoulder and I turned thinking she wanted to buy oranges but she told me she had  a business in Lagos and wanted me to follow her. I did not know what came over me. I just followed her without even telling my parents and friends where I was going”.

18-year-old Patience’s story is not much different. She said she was braiding a friend’s hair when Mike, an okada rider, pulled up and said Chairlady was looking to employ sales girls for her beer parlour.

“I told Mike that I was still in school and could not go with the lady and that she should look for someone else. But instead of looking for somebody else, Mike went and brought the lady and when she looked into my eyes, I simply went inside and packed my clothes and followed her without waiting for my grandmother who went out to come back.”

17-year-old Angela said Chairlady met her on her way to school and offered her employment in her Lagos beer parlour. On their way to ‘Lagos’, they slept over in Enugu, at the home of a man with ‘seven wives’, who gave them a concoction to drink.

“The man took us into his medicine hut and gave us the concoction to drink and, when we refused to drink, he beat us. He told us that if we went out without drinking, we will die. After we drank, he said that if we ran away from ‘Chairlady’, our private parts would rot and we will die. 

We got to Calabar in the night and when I asked ‘Chairlady’ if this was Lagos, she said yes. 

We arrived Calabar in the night and, the next morning, she collected our phones and brought boxer shorts to us that we should wear and, when we asked her where the drinking parlour was so that we could start work, she said we should hustle like other girls were doing by sleeping with men and, when we refused, she beat us up mercilessly.Everybody in the hotel was afraid of her because she was their boss and, if anyone dared to challenge her, she will send the person out of the place.”

The girls added that Chairlady many times denied them food, punished them if they rebelled or tried to run away, and had her male friends search them for any hidden money after they had slept with men. “You can see marks on our bodies because of the beating we got,” Angela said.

Patience added:

“It was very painful when we started. Everyday we slept with  an average of  twenty men for N500.00 each and, because we were young and new, men would  line up and wait for us till about 12 midnight when the hotel closes and then ‘Chairlady’ will   come in and collect the money and, since she used to count the condoms she was giving us, if you did not give her all the money, she will beat you mercilessly.”

According to Angela:

“When I tried to run away, she brought a soldier and a policeman who were her  friends who beat me up and poured tear gas in my eyes and, because of that, I became very sick and could not stand up for many days.”

Vanguard reports that Chairlady was busted by the operatives from Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of Cross River State Police Command. The girls maintained that they were hypnotised.

Meanwhile, Chairlady, who says she hails from Ebonyi State, accuses the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of jealousy and insists she didn’t bring the teenagers to Calabar.

Speaking with the press, Cross River State Police Command Public Relations Officer, John Eluu confirms she has been charged to court for kidnapping and engaging in prostitution.
