Stella Oyella and her daughter Vanessa Atim arranged for more than £1,800 to be sent to Joseph Ogaba, who had left his home in Finsbury Park to join the terrorist group in 2014.
Oyella, 55, and Atim, 32, were both jailed in March 2024 after investigators were able to prove that they knew the cash was supporting Ogaba’s terrorist activities.
The evidence collected showed how they went to great efforts to cover their tracks, sending the money through contacts in Uganda and the Middle East.
Oyella, from Newham, was a senior nurse employed by East London NHS Foundation Trust at the time of her conviction.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) decided last month to ban her from the profession.
The NMC panel said Oyella’s actions were a “significant departure” from the expected standards and that the conviction was “fundamentally incompatible” with her serving as a nurse in the future.
The Old Bailey previously heard that in September 2013, Ogaba left London to go to Syria via Germany and Turkey.
The Muslim convert left a note stating that he was going to join Daesh, otherwise known as IS.
Oyella and Atim sent the money between March and October 2017.
In March and December 2018, Atim was detained by officers at Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, seizing devices which contained evidence of money transactions.
In 2019, detectives analysed a computer hard drive linked to Ogaba and scans of money transfer receipts were found.
The hard drive also held pictures of Ogaba, including evidence of his activities with Daesh, and extremist content with images of weapons and explosive devices.
It was determined that money was often transferred to someone in Uganda before it was pushed to contacts in the Middle East and then Ogaba.
Met Police Commander Dominic Murphy said: “These women went to great lengths to first arrange, and then distance themselves from money transfers to Ogaba.
“They knew he had travelled to Syria to join a terrorist group and by sending him cash, they helped him remain with Daesh.”
Both women pleaded guilty to entering into an arrangement to fund Ogaba.
Judge Mark Dennis concluded that neither of the women were motivated by IS’s extremist beliefs but had turned a “blind eye” to what their brother and uncle was engaged in.
Oyella was sentenced to three years in prison whilst Atim was jailed for three years and nine months.
In July 2022, Syrian authorities reported that Ogaba had died whilst in prison, following his capture by Syrian defence forces.
