Ring Leader of an International child sex smuggling gang, Franka Asemota, 36, Nigerian, mother of one, has
been arrested by Operatives
of Interpol for her roles in international child ‘sex’ trafficking and
smuggling last week arrested in Benin City, the Edo state capital, and
extradited to the United Kingdom.
A European arrest warrant was issued for her from the UK,
when she was thought to be in Italy but she it was later discovered that she
has relocated to Nigeria, where the NCA working with NAPTIP and the Nigerian
Police traced her.
The UK-based NCA said: “Asemota’s arrest was the result
of exceptional collaboration with our partners at home and in Nigeria” adding,
“This operation demonstrates our global reach and our determination to track those wanted in the UK,
no matter where in the world they are.”
Asemota’s arrest may have been aided by the whistle blown
by a Nigerian member of the trafficking ring, Odosa Usiobaifo, of Enfield, UK,
who was jailed for 14 years by Isleworth crown court in 2013 for conspiring to
traffic for sex exploitation.
In October 2014, David Osawaru, another Nigerian, was
jailed for nine years for chaperoning two women in transit to Prague, Czech
Republic. He had been arrested by Border Force officers at Heathrow.
