The British couple, Emanuel Edet (61 years) and Antan Edet (58 years) were convicted recently for holding a Nigerian immigrant captive for 24 years. According to Viewers Corner News correspondent, this terrible couple Emanuel Edet and Antan Edet promised a Nigerian boy (14 years old then) when they brought him to Britain in 1989 that they would pay him, provide him with an education but for more than two decades he was with them, they enslaved him, forced him to work without pay for up to 17 hours a day. He got no education, he had very limited contact with his family and the outside world. They also seized his passport and threatened him that he would be arrested as an illegal immigrant and deported if he leaves the house or contact police.
The husband and wife were convicted at Harrow Crown Court in northwest London on charges of child cruelty, slavery and assisting in illegal immigration. This is cruel and regarded as a modern day slavery.
