Chicken hearts, voodoo & forced prostitution: Sex trafficker convicted in ‘horrendous’ case

An immigrant nurse who forced women to take part in a voodoo ceremony before smuggling them to Europe to work as prostitutes, has become the first UK national to be convicted of human trafficking for crimes committed outside Britain.

A Birmingham Crown Court heard how Josephine Iyamu, 51 and originally from Liberia, subjected her victims to juju, a form of voodoo whose adherents claim can exercise a psychological control over those subject to it.

Iyamu, who became a British citizen in 2009, charged her victims, aged between 24 and 30, up to £33,000 to be smuggled into Europe. The route saw the women travel through the Sahara desert from Nigeria to the Libyan coast. The “horrendous” journey involved some women shot at and gang rapped, according to National Crime Agency (NCA) Senior Investigation Officer Kay Mellor. They would then travel across the Mediterranean to Italy, from where they would be sent to Germany and forced into prostitution to pay off their debts.

Describing the witch-doctors, Mellor said: “They exert an insidious control which an expert witness has said is more powerful than chains. As part of the oath-swearing ceremony they were given blood containing worms to drink. A chicken was used to hit her naked body on the back and on the chest.

“She had to eat the heart of the chicken which had just been killed. And the priest would cut their skin and mouth with a razor blade,” Mellor said after the case’s conclusion.

The investigation – named Operation Redroot – was instigated when one of Iyamu’s victims was arrested by German police. The woman, from a poor family in Nigeria, had been promised great amounts of money for working as a prostitute in Europe.

The police started wiretapping the victims’ phones, leading to the identification of Iyamu and subsequently the involvement of the NCA. The court heard how, Iyamu – also known as Madam Sandra – forced one of her victims to have sex while she was still bleeding from an abortion she had after being raped and impregnated on her way to Germany.

In messages found by the police, the victim wrote: “Have you forgotten that you sent me straight back to work right after my abortion, even though I was still bleeding?” In response, Iyamu wrote: “Time is dragging on. Pull your finger out!”

Iyamu and her husband Efe Ali-Imaghodor, 60, were arrested at Heathrow Airport on August 24 last year after travelling back from Nigeria. Iyamu was convicted on five charges of facilitating the travel of another person, she will be sentenced on July 4.

She was also found guilty of perverting the course of justice after paying Nigerian police to arrest one of the victims’ relatives in a bid to stop her from testifying against her.

Mellor explained how Iyamu had been the first British national to be convicted of trafficking crimes under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 which...

Government Employee Who Beat Unions at Supreme Court Sees End to Their ‘Free Ride’

Labor unions no longer get a free ride on the backs of government employees who are forced to pay for political activism they disagree with, the man who successfully challenged the practice at the Supreme Court told The Daily Signal in an interview.

For decades, Illinois state government worker Mark Janus said, union leaders had argued that nonunion employees should pay “fair share” fees so that those workers wouldn’t be “free riders” who enjoyed the benefits of collective bargaining on their behalf without cost.

In 1977, the Supreme Court accepted that argument in its unanimous ruling in a case known as Abood v. Detroit Board of Education.

But on Wednesday, in a 5-4 ruling, the high court reversed that decision in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31, finding that its Abood opinion was “poorly reasoned” and that mandatory union fees violate the First Amendment rights of government employees.

Janus, a child support specialist at the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services who became the lead plaintiff in the case, turned the tables on the unions’ “free rider” argument in a phone interview with The Daily Signal a few hours after the high court released its decision.

“There are two arguments on this point of free riders that need to be made,” Janus said. “No. 1, it was the unions that asked for and received the ability to collectively bargain for everyone, both union and nonunion members.”

“No. 2,” he said, “the way I look at this is it is the unions that have been free-riding on me and 5 million public-sector workers across the country. They have been getting our money in order to...
