The engulfing property for 3-manifolds

We show that there are Haken 3-manifolds whose fundamental groups do not satisfy the engulfing property. In particular one can construct a pi1-injective immersion of a surface into a graph manifold which does not factor through any proper finite cover of the 3-manifold.
