The story of a 24-year-old Nigerian woman identified only as
Juliet who was tricked into prostitution in Russia where she
went to study, has gone viral.
Narrating the the heart-chilling story, a Russian photographer,
Tatiana Egorova, revealed that some Nigerian pimps usually
lure most girls into sex slavery abroad by promising them
good jobs.
Egorova further disclosed that Juliet, who hails from Edo State,
went to study Economics in a Russian University only to be
tricked into prostitution by a woman after they arrived the
airport in Moscow.
The woman reportedly told Juliet that she owed her the money
which she paid for their transit and urged her to sell her body
to men in order to pay her back.
“Juliet is from Benin City, Edo State and she was first girl I
spoke with. Juliet said her neighbor who was later revealed to
be working for a gang, suggested to Juliet’s parents to send
their daughter to study Economics at a Russian university,”
Egorova disclosed.
While quoting Juliet directly, Egorova said, “I’d just finished
school and my parents agreed to send me to Russia after they
were convinced by a neighbour that it would be best for me.
“My neighbor helped to get a student visa for me. When we
landed at Moscow airport, her friend met us and took me to
Voronezh, 543km away from Moscow.
“When we arrived Voronezh, the neighbor told me I owed her
$45,000, being what she spent on me on transit and I must
become a prostitute so as to make money to pay off the debt.
“She took away all my money and passport and with life being
so difficult for me, I had to join in the sex work because the
woman and her friends tortured me every day for disobeying
them.
“I was stranded and left with no other option. I became a sex
slave to both men and animals and nothing to show for it
because my madam takes all the money.”
