CBB REVIEW: Strange but True Confession:See how a 19- Year Old Lagos Girl Had Sex With 30 Men In a Day

A 19-year-old girl from Lagos, Ifekoya Adejoke,
pictured above, has narrated her experience as a
sex slave at TB Joshua’s Synagogue, Church Of
All Nations (SCOAN).
According to her, she was tempted by a deceitful
promise of “greener pastures” abroad, and became
a cruel victim of human trafficking, bounded to a
bed in a dingy, dirty Libyan room and forced to
sexually satisfy up to 30 men in a single night.
Adejoke explained that, coming from a poor family,
she survived by selling water as a young girl
before becoming a trainee hair stylist.
After her father’s death, her mum became the
family’s breadwinner.
One day a middle-aged woman walked into the
shop where she was styling and approached her
with an uncommon offer.
Without telling her mum or relatives, Ifekoya took
a vehicle with the mysterious lady to Libya. The
lady said from Libya they would board a flight to
Spain where Adejoke would start working as a
stylist.
Upon making it to Libya’s capital city, Tripoli,
Adejoke was taken by the woman to a duplex. The
first sight of her new home was a shock to her.
“I met five Nigerian girls there who were half-
naked,” she said.
Smiling wryly at her bewildered confusion, the
woman said she would “explain everything
tomorrow”.
“The following morning, when I woke up, she
brought some underwear for me and said these
were the clothes I must use to work,” the young
Nigerian narrated to the sober crowd.
As realisation came to what she had naively
tangled herself in, Ifekoya refused.
“That afternoon, people said they wanted to meet
me because I was new but I protested,” she
added.
“So, the woman went outside and brought a cane.
They really beat me up until I was very weak. She
then took me to one of the rooms and tied me
down there. She tied my hands to the back of my
head and tied my legs separately so that they were
open.
“That very day, 30 men used me in the room
where I was chained.”
Fettered as a sex slave alone in the dark, dirty
room save for the voracious men who forced
themselves on her, Ifekoya’s determination slowly
began wilting.
“After two weeks, the other girls came to me and
said that if I didn’t accept to do this, she would tie
me down for two years. When I knew the whole
thing was like that, I just accepted.”
She was then told that she would have to pay a
total of $9,000 to cover the costs of her travel to
Libya. So Ifekoya prostituted for almost one year
before finally earning enough to ‘buy’ her liberty.
Meanwhile, as hope finally beckoned that she
could leave the lifestyle behind, fate hit another
poisonous blow.
“Immediately I planned to leave the place, I started
falling sick, seriously sick.”
Nearly one year of sleeping with numerous men on
a nightly basis had taken its toll on her young
body.
“To my greatest surprise, my womb fell. I had to
be taken to the hospital where they operated on
me to remove it.”
Weak and practically impoverished, Ifekoya then
faced the threatening challenge of making enough
money for the trip back to Nigeria. Her options
were limited.
“At the end of the day, I had no choice. I still had
to resort to the same thing to come back to
Nigeria,” she said.
Finally ending up in another brothel, she began
saving up for the return leg of her nightmarish
journey. After meeting a fellow Nigerian prostitute
who had a comparable story as a victim of
cheating and exploitation, the duo struck a strong
friendship and determined to make the journey
together. At this point, they made what turned out
to be a life-changing discovery.
Nearly 2 years after her fearless trip across the
Sahara Desert, Ifekoya and her friend made the
journey back to Nigeria. Inspired by the clips they
had seen on Emmanuel TV, the television station of
controversial Nigerian preacher T.B. Joshua, they
decided to make The Synagogue, Church Of All
Nations (SCOAN) their first port of call.
After getting prayer for deliverance from the “spirit
of prostitution” and hearing their stories, Joshua
decided to give the ex-prostitutes N200,000 each
to restart their lives.
“God has kept me alive to pass this message
across to the youth,” the young Ifekoya
emotionally finished, warning others not to fall
prey to the same tactics used to lure her into
slavery.
