Britain’s anti-slavery commissioner is examining radical new plans to prosecute sex traffickers by “reversing” the juju spells that terrorise many of their victims into staying silent.
Officials have tracked down the witchdoctor and ordered him to reverse the curse or face prosecution as an accomplice to the child trafficking ring. Once the spell is reversed, witnesses are willing to give evidence. The process has been used at least four times in Nigeria, according to that country’s main anti-trafficking organisation.
