Three Nigerians Arrested At Sham Wedding In Britain by justwise(mod): 3:15pm On Feb 03, 2015

This is the moment a sham marriage bride is handcuffed minutes before her wedding ceremony after a suspicious registrar told investigators the 'couple' couldn't spell each other's names.

Nigerian Joseph Iwueke, 33, was due to marry Slovakian Ingrida Stojkova, 29, in Leeds last July so he could stay in Britain.

But they were arrested moments before their fake wedding was due to start after officials at a pre-marriage meeting noticed the groom reading details about his supposed bride from the back of his hand.

Iwueke, Stojkova and two others have now been jailed for conspiracy to facilitate a breach of UK immigration law.

Leeds Crown Court heard that authorities had been tipped off by a registrar who became suspicious when the pair attended the register office a month earlier and were unable to spell each other's names.

Two other men - Obinna Odelugo, 49, and Robert Stojka - were also arrested at the ceremony and found in possession of bundles of cash.

They were described as the 'fixers' who arranged the fake wedding for financial gain.

Odelugo ran from the ceremony room in West Yorkshire but was found hiding in a toilet cubicle
