Nigerian Couple In £3.8m UK Benefits Scam by yoged(m): 10:43am On Sep 29, 2012 |
Adeola Thomas, 38, assisted by his partner, Abimbola Abiola, 34, secured £87,000 from fraudulent claims totalling £3.8million over four years. Thomas used 1,400 stolen identities to complete 2,495 handwritten tax and benefits claims forms. HMRC suspicions were raised when he used the same address for all the claims. Thomas, an illegal immigrant, was jailed for seven years while Abiola, also a Nigerian national with leave to remain in the UK, received two-and-a-half years. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2210157/Nigerian-couple-tried-claim-3-8m-eye-watering-benefits-scam-using-1-400-identities.html ...9ja ppl sha, always spoiling our name.

Ha na wah o. My people and their addiction to criminality. Before you know it, someone will blame Jonathan or leadership for these gross acts of theft and fraud. Many of us simply want to hammer overnight: Greed. Laziness. Stupidity. Wickedness. Foolishness. Evilness. Ten years is too small. I wish these two rot in jail. Honest hard working Nigerians are treated suspiciously or with disdain because of these kind of criminals. God punish dem! 1 Like |

Please and please, let us not derail this thread with tribal nonsense. The crime was committed by Nigerians so let us be reasonable with our comments. Thank you! |

biodex: Diz is too much, bt come τ̲̅ȍ think of ℓ̊τ̲̅, na naija economy course all diz thingBlame game! Only a looser will blame others for his/her failure. The economy might have contributed to their act but they are in a ‘so-called greener pasture‘,hence greediness and laziness are their major problems. |
