Nigerian Woman Arraigned in the UK for Paying Man £1000 to Pose as Her Baby’s Daddy
A Nigerian
woman identified as Fausat Abolore, was today arraigned before a court in the
United Kingdom for paying a man £1,000 to pose as her newborn baby’s
father in order to avoid deportation.
According to Daily
Mail, Fausat and her accomplice Anthony Ezekpo were caught when
she transferred £1,000 into Ezekpo’s account on the same day he tried to
register the child’s birth certificate. UK police also found out
about her fraudulent act through online pictures of the real father Peter
Gentry cradling his son at a naming ceremony on September 15, 2014.
Faust Abolore
reportedly hired Anthony Ezekpo so she could gain British citizenship, using
his name on the baby’s birth certificate and claiming she lived with
Ezekpo, providing the UK authorities with a fake address.

Abolore, who
gave birth to her son at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich on August 6,
2014, was previously arrested in September last year. The jury was told
that Abolore was under Home Office investigation and she had no legal basis to
be in the UK. When asked to take a paternity test, Fausat refused.
The police
further claimed that Fausat submitted a passport application signed by
Ezekpo and countersigned by one Samson Awoyinka who claimed to know
Ezekpo for five years from his church congregation. This, however, turned
out to be a lie. Both Abolore and Ezepko also deny one count of giving
false information when registering a birth and Abolore alone denies seeking
leave to remain in the UK by deception
Fausat has since
had a second child with her partner Peter Gentry while her trial continues.
