"Before taking them out of Nigeria, Okah forced the girls to swear to an oath, and after they arrived, she confiscated their mobile phones and travel documents.

 

"The girls, whose credentials were confirmed to be from Cross River and Edo states in southern Nigeria, paid her N4.5 million each from proceeds of prostitution before they were rescued by officials. 

 

"Delhi police have already completed investigations and she was arraigned in less than 24 hours,” he said.

Speaking on the issue, human rights activist, Halima Nuruddeen, noted, "There is a need to end this menace."
