It was found that she is wanted in the UK by the National Crime Agency of the UK on charges of child trafficking
She is accused of organizing a thick network that transports young girls, especially teenagers, from villages in Nigeria and sending them to Europe via London.

The judge ordered that Franca Asemota be extradited to the United Kingdom to face trial for the charges filed against her.
