A woman and her children have been sentenced to 38 years imprisonment on Monday, by a Benin High Court, Edo State for trafficking a 19-year-old girl to Russia for sexual exploitation

The two siblings, Mr Endurance Ehiozee, 37, and Miss Vivian Ehiozee, 31, were sentenced to 14 years’ each without option of fine, while their mother, Mrs Helen Ehioze, was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment.

The presiding judge, Justice Geraldine Imadegbelo, sentenced the convicts after finding them guilty of the offences which contravened sections 15 and 16 of the Trafficking in Person Prohibition Law, Enforcement and Administration Act 2003 as amended in 2005.

The prosecutor, Mrs Rosemary Emodogo, said sections 15 and 16 deal with procurement of victims for prostitution and trafficking in persons.

Counsel for the convicts, Mr. J. Omigie, had pleaded with the court for a lenient sentence, saying the convicts were first offenders and had no prior criminal record.
