One Nigerian couple, Jude Ikenna Ijegulu and partner Elizabeth Botes, have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms after being convicted of human trafficking and keeping a brothel.
The 34-year-old Ijegulu and his 29-year-old partner, who are from Centurion in Pretoria were sentenced in the Pretoria High Court, South Africa Broadcasting Corporation reports on Saturday, 15th of June, 2024.
The court ordered that Ijegulu’s name be added to the National Register of Sexual Offenders as he was sentenced to two life terms on two counts of rape and a further two years for being in the country illegally.
The National Prosecuting Authority’s Gauteng spokesperson, Lumka Mahanjana, welcomed the sentences.
She said:
“From November 2016 to September 2017 the two ran a brothel in Centurion where they kept two women. The man raped the two women, supplied them with drugs as well as physically and sexually assaulting them.
“The couple would also instruct the two victims to render sexual services to clients. The Judge found that the two violated the Human Trafficking Act. The man enslaved the two victims and fed them drugs.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
