Josephine Iyamu, 54, was the first British national to be convicted under the Modern Slavery Act for offences committed overseas, in a landmark prosecution led by the National Crime Agency in 2018.

Iyamu was handed a confiscation order totalling £183,806.06 at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday 4 March.

The confiscation amount took into account her available assets, which include a large house in Benin City, Nigeria, where she employed household staff.

If she fails to pay the full sum within three months, she will serve an additional two years in prison and still be liable for the money.
