| ~ Martin Bosa attempting to sell a child. |
Martin Bosa is the secondary antagonist of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Ritual". He is a pimp and human trafficker who sells children from Nigeria.
He was portrayed by the late Sullivan Walker.
Biography[]
Bosa is a Nigerian national who makes his living selling children to wealthy Americans who want unpaid domestic workers or sex slaves, or both. He runs his operation by going to Nigeria every few months to buy children "in bulk", either from warlords who have kidnapped them or from their own families, and then taking them back to New York City and selling them to his clients. He keeps the children he has not yet sold in a warehouse, feeding them just enough to keep them alive.
He has been charged with capital crimes in Nigeria, but he uses his political connections there and in the United States to make sure he is never arrested.
"Ritual"[]
Bosa sells two of his captives, siblings Na'imah and Adjani Haruna, the former to wealthy socialite Marion Laymon to put to work as a maid and the latter to pedophile Allan Shaye to sexually abuse. When Shaye murders and mutilates Adjani, the NYPD's Special Victims Unit investigates the crime, eventually arresting Shaye. To avoid the death penalty, Shaye agrees to give Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler Bosa's name and contact information and set up a meeting with him so they can arrest him.
SVU Detective Fin Tutuola and Nigerian Consulate official Kema Mabuda go undercover to meet with Bosa, posing as a wealthy couple who want to buy a young girl to use as a servant. Bosa offers to sell them a girl they can "train", but he becomes suspicious and tries to run. Tutuola, who had been particularly repulsed by Bosa's crimes, tackles him to the ground, and punches him several times in face until Stabler pulls him off and takes Bosa into custody.
Bosa laughs aside Assistant District Attorney Casey Novak's threats to send him to prison for life, bragging that his political connections can make the charges go away. However, when Mabuda says he will be sent back to Nigeria to be executed at Kirikiri Prison, which is notorious for killing prisoners in the most brutal ways possible, a terrified Bosa offers to reveal the location of his next "shipment" of children in return for being spared the death penalty. The SVU detectives intercept the shipment and rescue the children, while Bosa is extradited back to Nigeria to serve a life sentence in Kirikiri Prison.
