The French Police have arrested 30 Nigerians for their involvement in a prostitution ring.

According to reports, two Nigerian cultist groups, the Supreme Eiye Confraternity (SEC) and Black Axe, were involved in the prostitution and trafficking network.

The network is also suspected of collecting and laundering tens of millions of euros across the country.

Officers estimates that the network laundered between €30-€50 million in the last three years.

Reports claimed that 30 Nigeriaestimaterrested during two rounds of judicial police raids in June and September following a 15-month investigation.

Police identified suspects who collected cash from young Nigerian women prostituting themselves in different cities across France.

“The collectors were moving money from Lille, Colmar, Strasbourg, Lyon, Nice, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes or Paris,” said head of anti-trafficking agency OCTREH, Jean-Marc Droguet.

A hair salon and a grocery store in northern Paris were used as collection points for the money before it was handed over to carriers who concealed the cash in double-bottomed suitcases and left the country.

The carriers would sometimes pass through other European capitals and African countries to avoid suspicion, officers said, but the money was always destined for Nigeria.

“Everything was going back home,” Droguet said.
