Nigerian Pair Arrested for Human Trafficking

Greek police said a man and a woman from Nigeria were arrested in Thessaloniki, Greece, for trapping a 26-year-old woman, also from Nigeria. It appears that they were taking advantage of her economic situation and her desire to migrate to Europe in order to find employment. The perpetrators demanded 50,000 euros to transport the young woman to Europe. However, the woman was not able to repay such a debt, so they forced her to stay in an apartment in Volos, Greece where they would pimp her until she was able to repay her debt According to the victim, their agreement was sealed through religious ceremony (voodoo), which was conducted by a local “religious doctor” in their country of origin. The complainant stated her desire to be granted legal residence permit in Greece.
