Nigerian benefit fraudster: claimed he was earning just £700 a month,owns £1million mansion back home
A minicab driver who claimed he was earning just £700 a month but was living a luxury of life in his Nigerian mansion, has been ordered to pay almost £1.2m.
Ovo Mayomi, 44 and his wife Juliet Ubiribo 32, who claimed benefits after telling benefit bosses she was a single mother and a victim of domestic violence―were convicted of fraud in 2010 after using an identity and immigration scam to falsely claim £43,000 in benefits.
Fraud investigators discovered he owned a large luxurious house in Nigeria worth more than £1m and boasting chandeliers and £89,000 worth of sound equipment.
As well as two money-transferring businesses ,bank accounts and a fish farm in the country.
He also had a £25,000 watch and his wife wore a Rolex watch and drove a Mercedes sports car
A judge has now ordered Mayomi to pay £1,197,743 in a confiscation order – or face six years in prison.
The Proceeds Of Crime Act allows the court to seize assets even if it doesn’t have enough evidence of criminal activity to secure a conviction.
Scammers ... Ovo Mayomi and wife Juliet Ubiribo
