A young girl whose name has been given as Lizzy is set to be rehabilitated by Pastor Tony Rapu after years of cocaine addiction and prostitution.
Tony Rapu revealed that the young girl was used by pimps in Ikeja who provide her with drugs in exchange for commercial sex work.
Sharing the video, he wrote;
We visited Ipodo this afternoon, a dilapidated and degraded community in the heart of Ikeja.
Our visit was to rescue 26 year old Lizzy from the clutches of her captors; the drug sellers and pimps who feed her drug habit from the proceeds of prostitution and other vices.
This is the story of Lizzy who has been begging on the streets of Lagos especially in the Ikeja area for seven years. Dressed in a way to attract sympathy, she begs for money in the busy traffic during the day. At night she resorts to commercial sex work, all in a bid to fund her drug addiction. We took Lizzy off the streets last week to begin her long journey of rehabilitation and hopefully, successful integration back to a normal and productive life.
