A doctor and his nurse wife who kept a man in forced
servitude for almost a quarter of a century after illegally bringing him to
Britain have both been jailed for six years.
Former NHS obstetrician Emmanuel Edet, 61, and midwife
Antan Edet, 58, kept fellow Nigerian Ofonime Sunday Inuk as a ‘houseboy’ after
telling immigration officials he was their teenage son when they arrived here
in 1989.
Over the next 24 years he worked unpaid up to 17 hours a
day looking after the couple’s two sons, cooking, cleaning and gardening.
He was also forced to sleep on a hall floor for long
periods of time. He eventually managed to alert a charity to his plight after
the couple went to Nigeria for Christmas in 2013 and they were arrested the
following March.
