Mama Masha, who lives at Okuarobo Street, Off St. Saviour Street, Upper Sakponba Road, Benin City, Edo State capital, was arraigned on July 1, 2021 on a
24-count charge of assisting the activities of persons engaged in trafficking in persons contrary to Section 13c TIPPEA, 2015

The Belgian, who was cross-examined by the counsel to the defendant, painted a graphic picture of how Nigerian girls who were recruited to Belgium and other European countries dressed almost naked, standing right by their windows and in private clubs, soliciting for customers.
