A couple were starting six-year jail terms in Britain Tuesday after keeping a Nigerian man as a slave for nearly 25 years.
Emmanuel Edet, a 61-year-old doctor, and his wife Antan Edet, a nurse
aged 58, told immigration officials that Ofonime Sunday Inuk was their
son when they brought him into Britain in 1989.
But they forced him to work unpaid as a "houseboy" for up to 17 hours a
day, cooking, cleaning, gardening and looking after their children,
London's Harrow Crown Court heard.
In 2013, he finally managed to alert a charity to what was going on when
the couple went to Nigeria for Christmas. They were arrested in March
2014.
Judge Graham Arran told the Edets that their behaviour had the effect of
"robbing" their victim, now aged 40, "of the opportunity of leading a
normal life."
The couple, from northwest London, were found guilty last month of
cruelty to a child under 16, servitude and assisting unlawful
immigration.
