Shocking :#(must read)

A British couple was found guilty on Tuesday of keeping a
Nigerian immigrant enslaved for more than two decades, forcing
him to work for no pay and threatening him with deportation if
he tried to escape, prosecutors said.
Emmanuel Edet, 61, and Antan Edet, 58, held their victim captive
from the time he was brought to Britain when he was 14 years
old, said the Crown Prosecution Service.
The husband and wife were convicted at Harrow Crown Court in
northwest London on charges of child cruelty, slavery and
assisting in illegal immigration.
They had told the teen when they brought him from Nigeria in
1989 that they would pay him and provide him with an
education, prosecutors said.
Instead, the victim, now 40, was forced to cook, clean, garden
and care for the couple’s children without any pay for up to 17
hours a day, they said. He was forced to eat alone and typically
slept on hallway floors, they said.
He got no education and had only very limited contact with his
family and the outside world. The couple took his passport, and
he had no identity documents, prosecutors said.
Prosecutor Damaris Lakin said the Edets told their captive he
would be arrested as an illegal immigrant and deported if he left
the house and contacted police.
“He believed this and felt trapped and completely dependent on
the Edets,” Lakin said in a statement. “Emanuel and Antan Edet
have cruelly robbed this victim of 24 years of his life. They have
treated him with complete contempt.”
“This was a shocking case of modern day slavery,” he said.
The convictions came on the first day of a two-day Trust Women
conference in London on women’s rights and human trafficking
held by the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Prosecutors said the Edets had changed the victim’s name and
added him to their family passport as their son when they
brought him into Britain.
