"The debts incurred by the women were enforced through fear. Each of the women was put through what is known to some as a voodoo ceremony,” he said, adding that Iyamu gained psychological control over the women through voodoo because of which they were scared to challenge her, the Telegraph reported.

"Iyamu and others involved with her were willing to put these women at risk of serious injury and or death as they made their journey from Nigeria to Europe,” he said.

Kay Mellor, NCA operations manager, said Iyamu used her status as a rich, powerful and influential lady to intimidate the Nigerian women and sent them via dangerous routes to Germany without any concern for their safety.

A nurse who used voodoo rituals to traffic five Nigerian women to Germany to work as prostitutes has become the first person to be convicted under new modern slavery laws.

"To her, these women were not human beings seeking a better life. They were merely a commodity which she could exploit to generate income for herself,” Mellor said, adding that she forced them to work in brothels to fund her own lifestyle.

Mellor also said that she salutes the bravery of the five women who came forward and recounted the abuse they suffered.

“Thanks to them, Iyamu will no longer pose a threat to others," Mellor said.
