Nigerian couple Lizzy Idahosa, 24 and
Jackson Omoruyi, 41, have been sentenced to
prison in the UK. Lizzy got 8 years behind
bars for sex trafficking and Jackson got 2
years for money laundering.
The mother of one, who is currently heavily
pregnant with Jackson's second baby, was
found guilty of trafficking women to and
around the UK as well as inciting prostitution
and money laundering.
Her partner Jackson, charged £50,000 for
travel from Nigeria and false documents from
the ladies they brought and made them work
in brothels where they had sex with 7 or 8
men a day to pay their debts.
Their victims said that before traveling to
London on the promise of a better life, they
had been subjected to 'juju' rituals in which
they ate snails and snakes, had their hair
shaved, drank dirty water and were cut with a
razor. They were also threatened with illness,
madness, infertility and death if they ever
spoke up.

Man caught eating dead woman's face in hotel room in the UK


A 34 year-old man, Matthew Williams
nicknamed Fifi, was allegedly found eating a
woman’s eyeball and face in a hotel room.
The horrified security staff at The Sirhowy
Arms Hotel in Argoed, South Wales, burst into
the room after the murder suspect refused to
let them in.
The hotel staff called police who hit Matthew
Williams with a high voltage taser which
knocked him to the floor. He was formally
arrested but died moments later due to high
voltage.

His victim, a 22-year-old woman who he'd
just met, was also confirmed dead from her
injuries.
Williams had just been released from jail two
weeks earlier, where he'd served half of a five-
year prison sentence for a violent attack on
his partner.
According to Jill Edwards, who lives near the
hotel, he said: ‘This animal was eating this
girl to death. Security said they told him no
girls in his room and he didn’t answer, when
they opened his door he was eating her face.’

A Gwent Police spokeswoman said: ‘We were
called at 1.23am after a reported that a man
was attacking a woman in the Sirhowy Arms
Hotel. On arrival both the male and female
were still at the location. A taser was
discharged and a man was arrested. The
woman was located with injuries and has
since been pronounced deceased. While under
arrest, the man became unresponsive. Officers
and paramedics administered first aid but he
has since been pronounced deceased. A
murder investigation is underway into the
death of the woman.’

48 year old Nigerian man arraigned in UKcourt for drug trafficking


A 48 year old Nigerian man, Mathew Atueyi,
who was arrested on August 2nd at Edinburgh
Airport, UK with 80 packs of cocaine valued at
£387,000 was arraigned today October 27th
before a high court in Glasgow over drug
trafficking charges.
At the court hearing today, prosecuting
counsel, David Nicolson said that Atueyi, who
arrived the UK from Nigeria via Paris was
arrested after £ 2000 was found on him. A
urine test carried out on him tested positive
for cocaine and an Xray conducted at the St
John’s Hospital Livingston showed he had
ingested multiple wraps of cocaine...
"He was subsequently transferred to
Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he excreted
80 packages weighing around 1,192 grams in
total" Nicholson said
When interrogated, Atueyi said he was a car
dealer based in Onitsha and was also running
a boutique. He confessed that the £ 2000
found on him at the airport was the upfront
payment he got from those who he was
transporting the drugs for. He is due for
sentencing next month.
