The court statement stated, “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 sum within three months, she will serve an additional two years in prison and still be liable for the money.”

Kay Mellor of the National Crime Agency after Tuesday’s sentencing said, “Iyamu’s expenditure on travel and properties far outweighed her legitimate earnings as a nurse and our investigation into her finances proved she made hundreds of thousands of pounds from her criminality.Jamb Result
