It could be described as a taboo for siblings to marry one another, but Anthonia and Victor in desperate bid to secure UK visa decided to be known and addressed as husband and wife. On the fateful day, January 28, 2008, Anthonia dressed in a flowing white gown, marched to the Ojo marriage registry with Victor to be joined as husband and wife. This was done in a bid to convince the British High Commission to grant them a visiting visa since they can never meet the criteria needed to secure such visa.

With the aid of a naval officer, (Kayode Olaniyan) they were able to secure forged documents, which portrayed them as highly placed individuals in Nigeria. The expectation was that the forged document would guarantee them a visiting visa, and they applied to spend two weeks in UK.

To further convince the BHC, they went along with their wedding photograph, especially where they were cementing their ‘marriage’ with a kiss. Bubble however bust on February 16 when the British High Commission that was not aware the ‘couple’ is related by blood discovered that the bank statement presented was slightly altered. They alerted the police at the Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi who in turn dispatched an officer to stand by for any possible arrest.

Unknown to them that their game was up, the BHC invited the ‘couple’ for a final interview, where they would be issued a visa. They were careful to ensure that they appeared in uniformed attire so that the difference would not be spotted. Passersby commended their choice of spouse as they looked alike. In the visa section, holding each other closely they stepped into the interview room. The man meant to interview them enquired if they had a swell time on Sunday being Valentine. They were still waiting for their Visa to be issued when the police arrested them for forgery. They were arrested alongside the visa racketeer, Kayode Olaniyan who is alleged to have forged the entire document used for the act.

The PRO SFU, CSP Akan, explained that when Victor discovered that the game was up, he shouted that the man (Kayode) who gave them the document was waiting outside to collect the balance as soon as they collect their approved visa. Unknown to Kayode, the game was up; he was arrested where he was waiting for the balance as soon as the deal clicks. In the course of interrogation, ready to vomit all the illegal things, they have done, Victor confessed that Anthonia was not his wife but his blood sister.

Victor told Saturday Sun that he was tired of struggling to survive in Nigeria that was why he quickly grabbed the opportunity when Kayode promised to assist them to travel out. “He gave us instances of people who he had travelled as ‘couple’. He requested that we should pay N900,000 for the deal but we ended up paying N180,000 with the promise to pay up as soon as the visa is granted.

“He promised that it was easier for couple to be granted visa so we quickly bought the idea to pose as couple. Part of the criteria was to get married, he arranged and we paid at the Ojo marriage registry. He also got some document which shows that I am a marine engineer, working in a company where I am paid more N300,000 monthly. I am an OND student of Lagos State Polytechnic where I am studying Banking and Finance.

I am not a marine engineer and do not have an account in WEMA Bank. I have never attended Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island. My real names are Ayeye Victor Adejobi. My younger sister who posed as my wife is Antonia Ayeye. Nebelisa is not my father’s name at all. Kayode gave us the surname ‘Nebelisa’ and instructed that we should obtain the passport. He took us to Ado Ekiti where we obtained the passport in the name of ‘Nebelisa’.”

When asked how he felt, kissing his sister, Victor said: “ It was disgusting but then I had no choice. I felt very bad knowing that it is an abomination, but because we wanted results, we had to comply. Take a look at the picture it will show that I was not comfortable with what I was doing.” Anthonia saw herself as an actress that was why she was very comfortable when it was time to kiss the bride.

On why she decided to embark on such mission, Anthonia explained that she did it to better her life and would not hesitate do whatever it took to get to the promised land. “I am a stylist and my office is located at Onobotubon Street, off Asho Street, Benin. Victor is my blood brother from the same father and mother. We were introduced to Kayode by a family friend who claimed that he has assisted a lot of people to secure UK visa.”

She explained that: “one of the ways to perfect the plan was to marry my brother, Victor. I saw that as a mere act, since I know that I am not married to my brother in real life. As agreed he took us to the marriage registry at Ojo, Lagos, to get married. At the end we were issued a marriage certificate. To perfect the business, he said we are to pay N900,000, but we managed to drop N180,000 as part payment. I am single and still searching ”

Their rip-off games man, Olaniyan, was not satisfied with his pay in the Navy and he chose to go into visa racketeering to add to his monthly salary. With his experience in the Navy, he was able to reproduce documents used to facilitate his clients’ visa requests, which depict the applicants as having military background.

Kayode who lives at No. 42 Olajumoke Street, Ikotun, Lagos, claimed that he joined the Nigerian Navy in 2005, and still works in the Navy. He explained that he knew his clients “through a family friend of mine, Tunde who told me that they were desperate to travel out of the country. I was the one who arranged for the forged marine documents and marine certificate of competency.

I brought the sample and it was reproduced just like the original document. I then hired the services of a good forger, Isaac, who brought the bank statement, sales receipt and the other documents that were presented. I asked them to pay, N900,000 to process the document which they agreed to but I only collected N180,000 based on the agreement that I would receive the balance at the end of the business. I would have collected the remaining sum today if the visa was issued.”

To the amazement of the British High Commission, Victor presented a document showing that he is working at the Durba Shipping (DNL). He also furnished the Commission with an internal memo approving 30 days annual leave, payment slip indicating a monthly salary of N310,000, letter of employment showing that he was employed as 2nd Engineer with effect from May 12, 2003 and a letter of introduction from the company. Victor further gave the Commission a certificate of Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island Lagos.

Anthonia, the hair stylist on her part appeared before the interview panel claiming that she is CEO/Chairman of the Emmanuel Sidah Ventures. She presented an introduction letter of herself as the owner of the company. Also in her custody was a document from the Corporate Affairs Commission showing when the business was registered. This document was a certificate to authenticate the registration of the business.

An illegal immigrant who murdered the daughter he had to avoid deportation was jailed for life today.

Olusola Akinrele, 34, was told he must serve at least 16 years in prison for killing six-week-old baby girl Leeya in December 2006.

Leeya died from brain damage 12 days after her apparently lifeless body was found at her home in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. She had 22 broken ribs, a fractured skull, a fractured thigh, and had also been bitten on the nose and both hands, the Old Bailey heard.



'Psychopathic': Olusola Akinrele (top) will serve 16 years for killing his baby Leeya. Her mother, Kelly Inman (bottom) pleaded guilty to allowing her death and was cleared of murder



Judge Philip Clegg said: 'When she was not asleep, Leeya must have been in excruciating pain.' He said Akinrele, a Nigerian, had 'little or no interest in his daughter'.

'You simply saw her birth as as something which might help you avoid deportation,' he told the killer. Akinrele was described in a psychiatric report as 'a manipulative individual with psychopathic traits'.

He was convicted of murder by a jury at Ipswich Crown Court and faces automatic deportation on completing his sentence. The baby's mother Kelly Inman, 22, pleaded guilty earlier to allowing her death and was cleared of murder during the trial. She received a total sentence of five years, having also been convicted of a separate fraud charge.

It was she who called 999 after Akinrele's final attack on their daughter.
Ipswich Crown Court heard that in the two-and-a-half weeks following her birth, Leeya underwent routine checks by midwives and a health visitor and her condition had not caused concern. But in the 24 days leading up to the emergency call, she had not been seen by health professionals and was in the care of her parents. The judge found that the injuries she sustained during that period represented at least three separate attacks.

On one occasion, Leeya must have been shaken and 'come into forceful contact with something hard', on another severe force was applied to her right leg, and on a third she had been bitten.

The judge told Akinrele: 'During the week before she was taken to hospital, it must have been obvious to both you and Kelly that Leeya was a very sick child who needed immediate treatment.'

On December 18 2006, the baby's father was alone upstairs with his daughter when he carried out the attack that killed her.
The judge said: 'The attack must have taken the form of either violent shaking or throwing the child down hard.'

He told Akinrele that her death was the 'culmination of a violent course of conduct committed by you against your daughter over two or three weeks'.
'Your victim could not have been more vulnerable. She was only six weeks old and to your knowledge weak and ill.

'It is to be expected that any child should look to its parent for protection. What you did to Leeya was a terrible breach of trust.'
The court heard Akinrele had never been interested in his baby, failing to attend ante-natal classes or the birth, during which he turned his phone off to avoid being disturbed.

He saw her 'incessant crying' as an 'irritant', the judge said.
The fatal attack, he added, took place during a 'sudden flash of temper'

This is like the tenth YORUBA to do this. What sort of desperation is this? They even bear Igbo an name Nebolisa. These useless people commit all sorts of crimes using Igbo names. I think I need to write an article about this trend in a national daily. Igbos must be made aware of how Yoruba people rubbish their image.

Why will they not use Igbo names when their own names are synonymous with fraud and corrupt practices and the hausa names are tied to terrorism!

Bad boys and girls behaving badly

Debosky, where are you?. Mekus-Bleep is on the loose again.

^^^^^
I know you will not resist this, fake Igbo man

BTW, I am actually baying to be banned so that I can concentrate on a highly demanding and sensitive research I plan taking on in March and April. Of course expect a mekus reloaded afterwards.

But why do Yorubas always commit crime using Igbo idenity?

Please ban this hate consumed idiot

Your sirer is the hate-filled imbe-cile. You should be addressing why anyone would easily use names of people from other tribes to commit crime, in a tribally-divided country such as Nigeria,  Yes, your sirer is a monkey. Go hang.

Your guts stink, i'd hate to think species of your kind went through any form of formal education, are you by any means insinuating that all Igbos are clean or what?
I think you should get a copy of "101 ways to stop being an i.diot". . . it could help you a lot

What the idi ot fails to understand that his hate t shirt has lost vogue and it is just matter of time before the it is thrown in the gutter.

mexus or what ever your shi tt name is - you are now boring - get a dickkk and suck on it

Violent and Blacksta:

Why are Yorubas committing crimes with Igbo names? Answer the question or jump into lake Chad

+ I just called your sirers imbe-ciles

I'd let you bark. . . thts what dogs do

Foremost, there is no LAW in Nigeria that say you cannot marry your brother or sister, mother, father.

The only wrong  thing they did was to forge 'bank statement.'

That said, nothing new.

Israelis just forge British passports to carry out murder.

thats just the way it is.

^^^^^^
Then they should forge documents with their own names. Why use Igbo names, if not ostensibly to further tarnish Igbo image that some people have been trying hard to correct? And you think the British govt will not ask questions from the Israelis?

oh i think he's more than that. . . he's a total waste of c.um

Why post this stuffs?


I mean people prepare many fake documents to get visa out of nigeria at all cost.
These two people definitely took it far.The guy was definitely uncomfortable as seen in the picture.
But is it a Yoruba thing?

I read recently an Igbo coupled being jailed 55 years in U.S for forcefully using a widow without pay.There are still over 1,000 igbo people in U.S prison for different domestic crime.
The Muttallab issue is still frsh in our memories.
Dude,crime is without borders-crosses religious and ethnic lines.

^^^^^^^
You guys should stop skirting around the issue. The question is what the rationale is for Yoruba to commit crime using Igbo names? Somebody from Kwara was caught recently with drugs and her name was Okoye, again an Igbo name used for criminial activity. By all means commit your crime using your name or a forged name similar to yours. Nigeria is a tribal country and any attempt for one tribe to rubbish the name of another the way Yoruba folks do with their crime using Igbo names is completely unacceptable.

Ok, this is BS. Will you guys quit it with the tribal threads? Many Nigerians than I used to think need psychotherapy. jeez!

You are definitely out of control.Do u believe this yourself?Dug couriers use available fake passports and it could bear any name.

You are a conniving criminal. This was not a case of available fake passport. Read the article if you are literate enough. They obtained the passport legally using an Igbo name. Why an Igbo name?
