Some of the teenagers who were rescued by the police and the Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare from a brothel in Awka, the state capital, share their experiences with IKENNA OBIANERI
My name is Precious Friday. I am 16 years old and I am an SS3 student. I am from Ebonyi State.It happened last Monday while I was in our compound washing clothes. Two ladies came in and introduced themselves simply as Ifeoma and Chika. They told me that someone directed them to me and that I was interested in working as a sales girl.I never met them before. When they asked me if I was interested in the job of a sales girl, I told them no, because I was not through with my studies.
I did not look at the time they came but it was in the afternoon and it was in the evening time that their call came. That was when they told me that I should meet them at the stadium. I just wanted them to leave me alone by giving them my contact number. But I did not know what got over me after I received their call. I left all I was doing and went to where they asked me to meet them. Up till now, I still cannot explain what really happened at that point.When they came, they told the three of us that it was already late and that we should go to their house to pass the night.
