The Federal Office of Police in Switzerland was quoted to have disclosed that “the Nigerian brotherhoods will probably continue to grow”.

According to the report, Black Axe was traced to Zurich’s Langstrasse district, where members of the group force Nigerian women into prostitution.

Meanwhile, the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) disclosed in October that Black Axe was rapidly becoming a major security threat worldwide.

Interpol made this known after it arrested 75 persons across four continents in connection to the criminal group.
