A woman who forced young Nigerian girls into prostitution, Jessica Edosomwan, has been named as one of the most wanted women in Europe.

Jessica Edosomwan

The 18 women, according to reports were involved in the beating of another woman to death, a wife accused of shooting her husband in the head, a suspected gun-runner, international pimps and an alleged voodoo sex trafficker

Jessica Edosomwan wanted by French authorities was said to have been part of a gang of people smugglers who used a form of witchcraft known as ‘juju‘ to force young Nigerian girls into prostitution.

Operating in every major French city the gang housed in the girls in terrible conditions, charging them exorbitant rents, it is claimed.

The victims, who were run by an older woman known as ‘la Mama,’ were then prostituted on the streets.

The money they made was then sent back to Nigeria through an informal payment system known as ‘hawala’.

Edosomwan, 26, has been on the run since 2017 and could be in France, Belgium or Germany.
