ABSTRACT
Sex trafficking has been the agelong tradition in Nigeria. It is responsible for many of the kidnappings and sexual violence that violates the independence and the right of femininity in Nigeria. Sex trafficking threatens the social, economic and political value of the society. It also explores the violated rights of women, children and sometimes, the men. Owing to the moral decadence, sexual impunity, poverty, ignorance and lack of sexual orientation, many families, especially the women fall victims to the snares of sexual traffickers. The characteristics of sexual traffickers that are firm perpetrators of this act are significant in many aspects. They are the dangerous black eggs in the society that destroy the life and future of girls and many of their victims. This research study aims at investigating the character traits of sex traffickers and the immoral obligation that obliges them to persist in their inhumane acts.
Chika Unigwe’s On Black Sister’s Street and The Return of Ameze by Felix Ogoanah are books that offers psychological and moral retrospection into the psyche of these individuals identified as sex traffickers. The characters Madam, Madam Vee, Senghor Dele, are diagnosed and represented in the different varieties and dimensions that sexual traffickers can appear, and behave. There is also a sociological reveal into the nature of the victims as the writers offer circumstantial evidence to highlight why citizens fall victims intentionally or unknowingly to the culture of trafficking. The character traits of sex traffickers discussed are emotionless, business oriented, cruel and superstitious.
