A UK based Nigerian Lawmaker, Fiona Onasanya, will now be sentenced with her brother after she was found guilty of lying to the police.

The UK based Nigerian Lawmaker who is a former Labour whip, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice following an Old Bailey retrial for lying to police to avoid a speeding charge. The MP who was elected in June 2017 but stood down as a Labour whip last month, was accused of colluding with her brother Festus after her car was clocked going 41mph in a 30mph zone in the village of Thorney near Peterborough, England.

The 35-year-old solicitor who was found guilty of one count of perverting the course of justice three times to avoid speeding points following a retrial at the Old Bailey, will be sentenced with her brother on a date yet to be determined.

A Labour Party spokeswoman who confirmed that the UK based Nigerian Lawmaker will be sentenced with her brother, said:

“The Labour Party is deeply disappointed in Fiona Onasanya’s behaviour. It falls well below what is expected of politicians. She should now resign.

“Fiona Onasanya is being administratively suspended from the Labour Party and therefore the whip with immediate effect.”

Sorry dear, that land you are living in and serving has a law guiding it, of which everyone is below it. No APC nor PDP

A Nigerian will always be a Nigerian
A country of liars and habitual lawbreakers

I wonder what wailers would've said if she was...

Be careful while driving

Nice representation

Another permanent residency grantedb

two ugly people
That's my opinion... I know it doesn't count but its still my opinion

This is a country where word is practiced and rules are obeyed.

Op, what do you mean by 'UK based Nigerian lawmaker'?

Are you okay or you're just high on codine? Displaying stupidity just for traffic..... mtcheeew.

Serves her right....... Make she no forget to resign too....

No, for lying about the speed ticket and claiming her brother was driving instead hence perverting the course of justice.

I don't even see the need to lie for this, worse she gets a ticket or points on her drivers licence and a fine. Now she may go to jail and has messed up her political career. She was already a whip for the labour party at 35, that's some achievement which is now down the drain.

Waris diz?

Afonja and lies. She probably thought she was in Nigeria where she can lie and it will be published as truth on yoruba newspapers.

it's not "just for a speeding ticket". It's mainly for lying and for trying to frame an innocent man for the crime. Even after she has been exposed as a liar, she has refused to admit her wrong. I'm guessing she truly deserves this then.

Blood is thicker than prison bricks

Abobakus!!

Useless tribe soiling our names home and abroad

Suffersticated pigs and moronss

A sane society where the barbarians that rule us and rape us, ensure they have their children as citizens, to benefit in a progressive nation, while retarding Nigeria.
