London Tatafo season 28

All protocols duly observed

How una side?  

Tatafo will not be talking too much today. No be say mouth dey pain me...ehen! 

This is because as I dey here last time dey yan una wetin my London people been dey do, na so before I finish the amebo.. one geh don carry my man run. 

I reach house no see the yeye man again. Onto say I dey here dey download gist. 

So na rush rush get today make I go face front. 

Ehn ehn matters arising..

So it has come to Tatafo's notice that the latest in this our town now is that some people have been swindling unsuspecting victims, lying and collecting money from them that they'd help them with securing a permanent residency in the UK.  

Na so some people take dey enter one chance. 

There's this particular couple in London that have enriched themselves with this matter wey Tatafo dey yan. Their modus operandi is such that they come under a false guise, acting as though they want to help illegal immigrants who are trying to survive in London. 

What they do is that they'll hook the unsettled immigrant(s) up with those who have papers but refuse to work. So, they'll tell you to use their papers to work with a promise that you'll pay a token every month from your salary.

This is where trouble starts...

The person given papers to work will be happy, thinking that he has been helped.. not knowing that his journey to perpetual financial slavery and fear of the unknown has just begun. This couple will initially request that you pay like 100 pounds monthly from your salary, after which they'll increase it, giving reasons as to why the owner of the papers requested for an increment. And as you no kukuma get choice, you go comply. ‎

Hmmmm... Biko how much is the salary sef wey person go begin serve two masters? All because person wan remain for jand. 

This couple have so many people under their control, so much that they've turned this into a family full time business. They operate a syndicate and their story is beginning to come to the fore. As both the legal and illegal immigrants are under their control.

The legal ones that they control are of course the lazy bunch who have their papers but refuse to work legally. As they'd rather indulge in making fast monies through other means than get a 9-5 job. So these are the ones whose papers are used by those who are illegal but ready to work. And this couple operate as an "agent" between both. Collecting money from both sides.

Recently, the person whose finger was badly bitten directly by this couple cried to the hearing of Tatafo. Hear her story. 

She came into the UK as a visitor quite alright, but became illegal when her visa expired. The man she came here to meet messed her up, so she was left to fend for herself after their relationship went sour. It was in the course of finding how to survive in London that she met with this couple who promised to help her for FREE.. by giving her papers to work. 

She was elated, matter of fact, she had to live with them in their North London home for almost a year before she moved out after securing a little job. She was grateful to them for housing her for a while.

It was when she moved out of their home that things went awry between them. It would seem as if they didn't want her to move out because they found her useful in their home. 

That one na story for another day... Una know say our people can like to use vulnerable people anyhow, unto say dem wan 'help' you. 

The story continues.. ‎

So, this young lady revealed that the demands from the couple became unbearable. Initially, the lady said that she was asked to pay 50pounds a month from her meagre salary. She paid this money consistently for months, but soon as she moved out of thier home, they increased the money to 100pounds a month. 

Hian! ‎

‎

She pleaded with this couple and asked them to maintain their earlier agreement of 50pounds a month, but they were adamant, they vehemently refused. They insisted that the owner of the paper she was using to work asked for more money. So this lady said that she struggled and started paying them the 100pounds. 

So things went back to normal. Or so she thought. 

‎

Six months after, this couple came up with another tale again. They told this lady to start to pay 120pounds a month because the owner of the paper asked for it. Na here the girl come para say lai lai she no dey add any more shishi, say anything wey dem wan do make them do am. Wetin sef?

When she refused, they asked her to stop going to her place of work because they don't want her to use the paper again. They even threatened to call her employer that they'd declare her a thief who stole someone's identity to work. Whilst they were still trying to solve this issue, this couple quickly sold the same identity to another lady, asking the new lady to pay 150pounds a month from her salary. 

**deep sigh**. Tatafo don tire for this matter mbok. 

Na so this lady tell Tatafo say she just run leave this couple before dem put her for trouble.  In the end it was discovered that the original owner of the paper was even collecting weekly Giro from the government. Which is illegal, because you can't be employed and be collecting free money from the system. The young lady had to quickly stop her job before police go catch am, and she started to look for another person's paper to work with. 

Why should this couple get away with this? 

Anyway Tatafo gathered that the couple have a set of twins. They live in North London and we were told that the woman used to be a nurse. She became a caterer after she stopped working as a nurse, while her husband is a retired cab driver. 

Una doh oh‎.. mobile home office. 

Tatafo was asked to bring this to the fore so that those who have been intimidated or threatened by this couple, or others like them, will shine their eyes and not allow themselves be swindled out of fear. Make sure that you know whose papers they are giving to you. And besides, if the owner of the paper isn't the one dealing with you direct, then don't do it. What if they stole the details to give to you? ‎

And this is to also tell those who capitalise on the misfortune and circumstances of others to enrich themselves, like this couple are doing, make una FEAR GODUu Oh!!

Tatafo has spoken ‎‎
