A 41- year - old woman, Victoria Oshi , has been sentenced to five years imprisonment by a High Court in Oyo State for trafficking three girls from Enugu State to work as commercial sex workers.

The victims , however , ended up working as commercial sex workers for Oshi , after which the matter was reported to the National Agency for Prohibition in Trafficking in Persons .
Oshi was subsequently arrested and charged to court after which a series of hearings started.
According to a statement by the NAPTIP Director of Press and Public Relations , Josiah Emerole , the convict was sentenced by Justice M . A . Adegbola on Wednesday for “procurement and sexual exploitation of three victims of human trafficking .”

Oshi was arraigned in court by NAPTIP on a nine - count charge while Mr. Peter Idowu , the owner of one of the hotels , faced a one- count charge , all under the Trafficking in Persons ( Prohibition ) Law Enforcement and Administration Act of 2003.
“Following a trial that lasted over six years , Hon. Justice M . A . Adegbola on Wednesday , sentenced Oshi to five years ’ imprisonment . The sentence will run from the day of judgment. The judge however , discharged Mr . Peter Idowu due to his age .”
