A Nigerian smuggler who terrified his victims into silence through “juju” witchcraft rituals and sexual violence was convicted today [Oct. 26] of trafficking girls to work in the sex trade across Europe.

Former security guard Osezua Osolase faces jail when he is sentenced on Monday [Oct. 29] for tricking impoverished young Nigerian girls into travelling to Britain before farming them out as sex workers for up (euros) 70,000 a time to continental gangs.
