Sad!!! confessions of a sex slave!

The experience of Ifekoya Adejoke is as harrowing
as it is heart-breaking. Lured by a false promise of
'greener pastures' abroad, the young Nigerian
ended up a merciless victim of human trafficking,
chained to a bed in a dingy, dirty Libyan room and
forced to sexually satisfy up to 30 men in a single
night...

Adejoke, a Lagos indigene, explained that an
impoverished background led her to survive by
hawking water as a young girl before she becoming
an apprentice hair stylist.

"When I lost my dad, his family claimed my mum
was responsible for his death," the 21 year old
tearfully said, sharing her experiences at a popular
church in Lagos. "They left us with her and ever since
then, she has been the one catering for us."

Aged 19, a middle-aged lady walked into the shop
where she was styling and approached her with an
unusual proposal. "She came to me and said there
was a country she was staying in and if she took me
to that country, I would make money and would be
able to cater for my family."

"My happiness knew no bounds," she recalled, her
judgement veiled by the blind promise of greener
pastures. "I said, 'Finally, an angel has come'.

Unknown to me, she was a devil in human's clothing."

Just one week later, without even informing her mum
or siblings, Ifekoya was in a vehicle with the
mysterious lady en route to Libya. "She said when we
got there, we would board a flight to Spain where I
would start work as a stylist".

The long journey by road through the infamous
Sahara Desert was nothing short of hellish. "We were
seeing dead bodies strewn on the ground," she
reminisced, shuddering at the grisly recollection.
"Even the vehicle that was following us directly
passed on top of a buried bomb; the vehicle just
exploded and everybody there died."

Ifekoya
witnessed scenes far too horrific to repeat as masked
men attacked a vehicle close to hers, beating the
occupants to a stupor and raping the women inside.

Finally making it to Libya's capital city of Tripoli,
Adejoke was taken by the woman to a duplex. The
first glimpse of her new home was a shock to behold.

"I met five Nigerian girls there who were half-naked,"
she stated. Smiling wryly at her bewildered
confusion, the woman said she would 'explain
everything tomorrow'.

"The following morning, when I woke up, she brought
some underwear for me and said these were the
clothes I must use to work," the young Nigerian
narrated to the sober crowd.

As realisation dawned to what she had unknowingly
entangled herself in, Ifekoya bluntly refused. "That
afternoon, people said they wanted to meet me
because I was new but I protested," she continued.

"So, the woman went outside and brought a cane.

They really beat me up until I was very weak. She
then took me to one of the rooms and tied me down
there. She tied my hands to the back of my head and
tied my legs separately so that they were open. That
very day, 30 men used me in the room where I was
chained."

Shackled as a sex slave alone in the dark, dirty room
save for the ravenous men who forced themselves on
her, Ifekoya's willpower slowly began wilting.

"After two weeks, the other girls came to me and said
that if I didn't accept to do this, she would tie me
down for two years. When I knew the whole thing
was like that, I just accepted."

Informed that she would have to repay a total of
$9,000 to the devilish lady to 'cover the costs' of her
travel to Libya, the young Nigerian prostituted for
almost one year before finally 'earning' enough to
'buy' her freedom.

However, as hope finally beckoned that she could
leave such hellish lifestyle, fate struck another
venomous blow. "Immediately I planned to leave the
place, I started falling sick – seriously sick."

Nearly one year of sleeping with multiple men on a
nightly basis had taken its toll on her young body. "To
my greatest surprise, my womb fell. I had to be taken
to the hospital where they operated on me to remove
it."

Feeble and practically penniless, Ifekoya now faced
the ominous challenge of making enough money for
the journey back to Nigeria. Her options were
limited. "At the end of the day, I had no choice. I still
had to resort to the same thing to come back to
Nigeria," she admitted.

Eventually ending up in another brothel, she began
saving up for the return leg of her nightmare
journey. After encountering a fellow Nigerian
prostitute who had a similar story as a victim of
deception and exploitation, the duo struck a strong
friendship and resolved to make the journey
together.

At this point, they made what turned out to be a life-
changing discovery. "It was when we were in one of
our friend's houses that we were introduced to
Emmanuel TV," she explained. "We started watching
and praying along with it."

Almost 2 years after her intrepid trip across the
Sahara Desert, Ifekoya and her friend embarked on
the journey back to Nigeria. Inspired by the clips they
had seen on Emmanuel TV, the television station of
controversial Nigerian pastor T.B. Joshua, they
decided to make The Synagogue, Church Of All
Nations (SCOAN) their first port of call.
After receiving prayer for 'deliverance' from the 'spirit
of prostitution' and hearing of their sordid stories,
Joshua decided to give the ex-prostitutes N200,000
($1,200) each to restart their lives.
"God has kept me alive to pass this message across
to the youth," the young Nigerian emotionally
concluded, admonishing her age-mates not to fall
prey to the same tactics used to lure her into slavery.
