Grimah said: “They also recruited two others, Ms. Anita Lawrence, 25, and Ms. Mabel Tom, 16, for human trafficking to Libya after they were tested for the Human Immune Virus (HIV) and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STIs).

“After the test, the suspect took them to his house, and the next day gave them a substance they were to mix in their bath water for cleansing before embarking on the journey.

“On November 12, the suspect and his wife drove the girls to Bogobiri Street in Calabar, where they booked tickets and transported them to Kaduna with arrangements with one Hajiya (names unknown) to receive the girls in Kaduna.”
