Russian photographer unveils Nigerian ladies who are into prostitution". The nude visuals which caused some uproar within many circles in Nigeria and raised questions among our international partners, showed the two girls being forced to swear to an oath of allegiance separately while nude.
The women that filmed the video threatened to upload the nude visuals if the girls did not act accordingly. Ann was allegedly recruited into prostitution in Dubai by Precious, a Lagos-based make-up artist.
The suspects attempted to force the victim to a shrine for oath of secrecy. On arrival in Dubai, the oath of secrecy, which could not be administered in Nigeria, was forcefully administered on Ann and recorded. The recording was later released on YouTube, a video-sharing website, after Ann escaped from her exploiters in Dubai, where she was forced into prostitution contrary to the initial promise of being given a job at a hairdressing saloon," Emerole said.
