Immigration Officer Couple tried to Sneak Nigerian Nanny to UK to work for £300 a Month
Natasha Vukic, who was working for the UK Border Agency (UKBA) in Nigeria, tried to bring housekeeper Rose Inah back to the UK with her as 'cheap labour', jurors were told.
Vukic, 36, and her partner James Mooney, 33, wrongly claimed that Ms Inah had been working for them in Nigeria for a year to ensure that she would qualify for a visa, it is alleged.
In reality, they had only employed the woman for six months, Inner London Crown Court was told. Vukic and Mooney, who had also worked as an immigration officer but later took up a management position with the Foreign Office in Lagos, both deny a count of assisting unlawful immigration.
They are alleged to have faked Ms Inah's documents so they could bring her to their home in Coulsdon, south London, where she would have worked 11 hours a day, five days a week, looking after their three year-old son for just £300 a month. Prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones told the jury: 'The motive is one of greed. Had they succeeded, had Rose come to the UK for a period of a year, she would have worked for what can only be described as a pittance.'
Vukic and Mooney are alleged to have hatched the plan in May 2011 at a secure compound where government staff were posted. Miss Karmy-Jones said: 'Their role in this offence is all the more culpable and serious because of what they do, for Natasha Vukic and James Mooney have both considered and approved and refused the applications made by others. Outlining the allegation, Miss Karmy-Jones said: 'Sometime in the spring of 2011 Natasha Vukic and James Mooney decided to return to the UK. 'Natasha Vukic had obtained a transfer back to the UK.
She was due to take up a post in the UKBA’s Criminal and Financial Investigations Unit, based in Croydon. 'She planned to take her young son with her. No doubt on her mind was childcare, and specifically the cost of childcare in London was something that she and James Mooney had to consider.' The prosecutor added: 'They hit upon a plan that their Nigerian nanny and maid Rose would be the ideal candidate to continue to look after their son when Natasha worked in London.' Vukic was then said to have filled out a visa application form on their maid’s behalf. Mooney allegedly submitted the form on May 25 last year, together with a copy of the maid’s contract claiming she had been working for the couple since May 10, 2010.
However, Miss Karmy-Jones told jurors that Ms Inah had only been working for the couple since November 2010 - six months less than they had written on her visa application. She added: 'In submitting that form, as they did, Natasha Vukic and James Mooney were breaking the law.' Having been granted the visa, Mooney was said to have asked for it to be reissued as it had only been granted for 11 months as opposed to the full year requested, jurors were told.
This attracted the attention of issuing officer Lindsey Moore, who knew the couple and recalled visiting their flat in the autumn of 2010 before a night out. On that visit, Mrs Moore had found Vukic annoyed that their maid was late, it is claimed. Mrs Moore is then said to have heard that the couple had sacked the unreliable maid shortly afterwards and found a replacement called Rose - months later than claimed on the application form. Further investigation revealed a log showing the previous maid, Georgina, had not handed in her security pass until November 2, 2011 and that Rose had only been issued her first pass sixteen days later, the court heard.
The maid named Georgina was interviewed and confirmed that she had been sacked ‘a few months before Christmas 2010’ after being accused of stealing around £4, it is claimed. A search of Mooney’s staff email uncovered a message sent by him to a colleague, confirming he and Vukic had hired a new nanny, jurors heard. Vukic, who had since returned to the UK, was arrested on June 8 last year.
She had allegedly emailed a UKBA colleague, saying: 'It’s not looking good, I’ll speak to you later.' Vukic denied the allegation, as did her partner when he returned to the UK for an interview later that month.
Mooney even claimed that Mrs Moore ‘did not like him because he went out drinking with her husband,’ the court heard. The trial continues.

New Phone app for Cheaters and Adulterers, makes texts, call logs disappear with a simple shake
The Cate app, which stands for “Call and Text Eraser”, creates an invisible log of calls and text messages and can hide specific numbers from the contacts list.
Advertised with the slogan, “Love is blind, we keep it that way!”, the smartphone app which costs £3 ($4.99) to download, is the brainchild of Boston entrepreneur Neal Desai.
The 25-year-old student bought the app for £11,000 from a Miami police officer, who developed the program after seeing his friend dragged through the divorce court thanks to incriminating text messages on his phone.
So far women have accounted for 70 percent of the Cate app downloads

Nigerians warned about sending their Children to Universities in Ukraine
In September, the National Universities Commission (NUC) had said some states sponsor students to sub-standard universities and Ukraine was one of the countries mentioned.
Isoh said, “One thing I will like to say about education in this place, and this is something we intend to package in a report to government to see how this can be propagated back home - I do not think that Nigerians get the best when it comes to studying in this place in the English language.”
Isoh said the lure for most parents is the low cost of tuition which is about $3,000 for a course that could cost up to $20,000 in the United States or Canada. But despite this advantage he said, “The people who teach them in English language are natives of this country who are also not very proficient in the language.” Isoh who also commented on universities offering medical courses said, “We don’t think that Nigerian medical doctors trained in English speaking universities here get the best.
But those who endeavour to learn the language and then attend lectures with the natives certainly get better trained.” He said his best advice to parents would be to get the children to study the local language first to get the best of their education system.
Executive Secretary of NUC Professor Julius Okojie also made reference to a university in Ukraine where there are over 800 medical students and some of the students do not have the qualification in basic sciences.

Nigerian Pilgrims Plane Not Allowed To Land In Saudi Arabia, Forced To Land In Sudan
.jpg)
It was gathered that the Saudi aviation authorities denied landing permit to the aircraft after it had entered its (Saudi) airspace. The refusal forced the pilot to make a detour to neighbouring Khartoum airport to enable Saudi and Nigerian aviation authorities resolve the issue of the aircraft’s airworthiness.
Saturday Sun gathered that a routine maintenance check had been conducted on the aircraft and certified air worthy by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) before it left Nigeria in the early hours of Wednesday. But the information on the routine check has not gotten to the Saudi aviation authorities as at the time the aircraft entered the Saudi airspace.
Head of Media, National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Mallam Uba Mana, confirmed the issue but said the aircraft, which had 523 pilgrims on board, had since landed at the King Abdul-Aziz International Airport, Jeddah late afternoon of Wednesday.
He said the matter had nothing to do with the ongoing row over male guides to female pilgrims or any technical problem but due to communication lapses.
Uniport HOD Removed For Participating In Protest Against Murder Of Aluu-4
Human rights groups and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) have called on the authorities of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Rivers State, to reinstate a former Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), UNIPORT chapter, Dr. Andrew Efemini, as the Head of Department of Philosophy.
Efemini was removed as the HOD, shortly after participating in Tuesday’s protest at Choba Junction on the East-West Road, against the murder of four UNIPORT students at Omuokiri-Aluu in Ikwerre Local
Government Area on October 5. The four male victims were Biringa Chiadika Lordson, Year Two, Theatre Arts, U2010/1805036; Ugonna Kelechi Obuzor, Year Two, Geology, U2010/5565149 and Mike Lloyd Toku, Year Two, Civil Engineering, U2010/3010094 and Tekena Erikena, a certificate student in the Faculty of Education, who had not completed his registration before the gruesome murder.
The Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development (CEHRD), through its Director of Operations, Styvn Obodoekwe, yesterday in Port Harcourt, condemned the removal of the activist lecturer, which it said was unjust. ACN on its part said: “We demand the immediate reversal of the removal of Dr. Efemini as the HOD, Philosophy of UNIPORT.
The vice-chancellor’s decision to remove him for participating in last Tuesday’s protest is condemnable, irrational, unlawful, ungodly and provocative.”
