- Izzy Ogbeide recounts her experience in Italy, alleging that churches failed to help trafficked girls involved in prostitution, while the Red Cross was the only organization that provided support.
- She further claimed that some pastors were aware that young girls were being trafficked but failed to intervene.
Nigerian woman Izzy Ogbeide has shared her experience while recounting the challenges faced by young women involved in prostitution in Italy, including alleged neglect from religious institutions.
Speaking about the situation, she said, “When we were involved in prostitution in Italy, churches never helped us especially Black-owned churches. They knew about it and even took part in it.”
Ogbeide further claimed that some pastors were aware that young girls were being trafficked but failed to intervene. She stated, “Pastors in Italy were aware that young girls are being trafficked, yet they do nothing.”
According to her, the only support they received at the time came from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which provided basic health support. She explained, “The only organization that reached out to us was the Red Cross, which provided condoms.”

Reports indicate that she gave birth to four babies, two of whom arrived prematurely and require extended medical care. As a result, the mother is expected to remain in the hospital while her newborns receive treatment.
In response to the situation, Nigerian influencer Wizarab reached out to medical doctor and content creator Dr. Sina to visit the hospital and assess the family’s needs. Dr. Sina reportedly checked on the mother and obtained an estimate of the medical expenses for both her and the babies.
Following this, Wizarab shared that ₦2 million was raised to support the family. The funds are intended to cover hospital bills, with any remaining amount going toward essential items for the newborns.
As of March 13, 2026, Wizarab revealed that ₦1.6 million was still available, and he expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to the cause. He added that Dr. Sina will provide updates on the babies’ health and ongoing care requirements.

“Having confided with @the_beardedsina, he went to the hospital this morning to visit the lady and get the cost of the hospital bills. The lady doesn’t have money to cover anything and will remain in hospital for a while because 2 of the kids are premature.
We got an estimated bill for her from the hospital, and we have sent N2m to them. The money would cover the bill, and the balance will get some necessaries for the babies. @the_beardedsina will explain the medical aspect to you guys.
