A Nigerian woman who usually lured other women into Dubai to blackmail them into prostitution has gotten her head into more than she bargained for.
A Nigerian woman has been arrested for forcing her countrywomen into prostitution after her consulate tipped police off about her activities.
According to The National, the Police were told about the woman on August 16 last year, after which she was apprehended at her apartment in The Gardens, which she allegedly turned into a brothel. According to prosecutors, she was found to be willingly working in prostitution.
An Emirati policeman testified that the woman had been luring countrywomen to Dubai after paying their travel expenses, then would take pictures of them naked, or shoot videos of the women in compromising positions.
“She would use the images and recordings to blackmail the women and force them into having sex for money, or if the women failed to repay her the travel costs,” said the officer.
He said during questioning the woman confessed she once posted a clip of a n*ked woman online because she refused to sell her body or pay her the travel expenses after she had arrived in 2014.
The next hearing will be on January 18.
