‘Most wanted’ Nigerian woman extradited to Italy for running prostitution ring
A Nigerian woman who was on the list of the ‘100 most dangerous & wanted fugitives in the world,’ has been extradited to Italy to serve a 13-year jail term for offences bordering on “criminal conspiracy, enslavement, human trafficking & exploitation of prostitution.”
The 48-year-old fugitive, identified as Jeff Joy, was extradited from Abuja to Italy after years of being on an Italian wanted list.
Joy, who has been described as a prominent figure in the Nigerian mafia, was responsible for receiving potential Nigerian victims upon their arrival in Italy & managing their operations as they settled in the country.
Italian National Police in a statement on Wednesday, March 8, said:“The investigations by the Ancona policemen date back to 2007 when the woman held an important role in the management of the pro§tit¥tion business between Italy, the Netherlands and Spain.
