2 woman rescued, human trafficker arrested, Cape Town

Chibuike Innocent Nwosu (39), has been remanded in custody by the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court following his brief appearance for allegations of human trafficking on Monday 8 January 2018.

Nwosu was arrested last week Thursday in Milnerton, when a multidisciplinary team consisting members of the Hawks Anti-human trafficking, K9 and local police followed up on information regarding an apparent human trafficking case.

The raid resulted in two female victims, both aged 22, being freed and taken to a place of safety.

The victims had been allegedly forced to work as sex workers after they were reportedly lured from Mpumalanga and Free State respectively in 2017, with offers of employment.

Investigations continue.
