Shocking! How Nigerians Are Used For Slavery And Prostitution In The UK.. by ChappyChase: 5:30am On Jun 18, 2015
A report by the BBC has revealed how hundreds of Nigerians are being transported to Britain for prostitution or thrown into slavery.

According to Kevin Hyland, the UK’s first anti-slavery commissioner, the situation is “deeply concerning” and the problem of such exploitation was “enormous”.




Newsbreak.ng reports that the commissioner, who has only been in post for six months, said he cannot think of anything more worrying than women and children being raped and forced into domestic slavery.




Figures released by the UK’s National Crime Agency, revealed that more than 2,000 potential trafficking victims were referred to the authorities in 2014 and out of this figure, 244 were from Nigeria, a 31 per cent increase from the previous year.

Observers believe, however, that the real figure of potential trafficking victims from Nigeria could be much higher than the statistics given by the British government.





Debbie Ariyo, executive director of the charity Africans Unite Against Child Abuse, who deals with lots of victims, remains adamant that the real number of those trafficked to the UK from Nigeria is much higher because many of them are reluctant to speak out.
“There is a notion among the families in Nigeria that once their family has come over here, they will have a better life, they will get better education, they will have better food and material things.

“A lot of people don’t see the abuse and exploitation and many of the young people who’ve tried to tell their parents back home, it’s difficult for the parents to accept that something like this could be happening in Britain,” she said.




“This is not about lack of resources but about using them effectively.”
