Nigerian Used Friend’s ID In The Uk For Free Medicals by wedemboiz(m): 7:23pm On Jan 20, 2015
A pregnant Nigerian woman’s
plan to use the NHS as an
‘International Health Service’ to
deliver her baby and then have
the child declared a British citizen
was foiled when she was exposed
as a fraud, a court heard.

Oluwaseun Adenubi, 30, used the
passport of her friend, 32-year-old
Rita Ogunkunle, to obtain free
care. After the delivery the friend
and her boyfriend Michael
Adebambo, 46, registered the
baby as theirs.
However, staff at Farnborough’s
Princess Royal University Hospital
realised the medical records of
the genuine Ogunkunle, who had
received acne treatment there,
conflicted with the pregnant
patient claiming to be her.
“The probation service think this is
a plot to use the ‘International
Health Service’ and then take
further advantage — the residency
that comes with that and
everything else,” said Croydon
crown court Judge John Tanzer.

Adenubi, who was granted a
family visit visa which allows her
to stay in the UK for up to six
months, pleaded guilty to fraud
against the hospital between April
and July last year.
Ogunkunle and Adebambo, both
of Orpington, pleaded guilty to
wilfully giving false information
about the registration of a birth by
claiming to be the parents of
Moses Adenubi, at Bromley Civic
Centre.
The couple have now fallen out
with Adenubi, who claims she
found Ogunkunle’s passport on a
bench. Ogunkunle said it was
snatched from her home and
used behind her back.
“The probation service are there
to report what they have been told
and they say they don’t believe a
word of it and neither do I,” added
the judge.
Prosecutor Alexandra Bushell told
the court: “Maybe there was a
motivation to secure the
nationality of the child as a British
citizen and free NHS treatment.
After the baby was born in June
staff realised something was not
right because Ogunkunle has
severe scarring, which the baby’s
mother did not have, and there
were two different blood types for
the same patient.”
Ogunkunle was arrested in
August and claimed Adenubi took
her passport after moving into her
spare room.
“She admitted falsely registering
the birth of the baby and said she
had been introduced to Adenubi
by a friend of her mother’s and
took pity on her because she was
pregnant and had no friends,”
added the prosecutor. “She told
police she was angry at Adenubi
using her identity and tried to beat
her to it by registering the child.”
Miss Bushell went on:
“[Adebambo] said his girlfriend
asked him to go to the register
office to register a birth and said
she told him she did not want
another woman to use her
identity.
“He said he did it out of love for
his girlfriend and was very
remorseful.”
“[Adenubi] claimed she was
fleeing a violent partner in Nigeria
and claimed to have no family
here and no contact with her
family in Nigeria.
“She said she arrived with
nowhere to go and met a Nigerian
man at the airport and others via a
church, but had no details of
those she stayed with.
“She claimed to have found
Ogunkunle’s passport on a bench
and only used it to get free
medical services.” All three were
bailed until a date to be fixed
