mc_squared Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This man married his OWN daughter so she would be allowed to stay in Britain - and the Home Office knows about it By Sam Greenhill and Dennis Rice Last updated at 12:51 PM on 18th November 2009 Comments (-) Add to My Stories A Nigerian Home Office worker 'married' his own daughter to get her a British visa, the Daily Mail can reveal. The extraordinary scam was apparently executed by Jelili Adesanya while ministers turned a blind eye. Mr Adesanya, 54, has lived here for more than 30 years and holds a British passport, but wanted his daughter, her husband and their four sons to join him from Nigeria. Big day: The happy 'couple' in their bogus wedding photo He faked a wedding ceremony complete with a photograph of the happy 'couple' which helped fool immigration officials that his daughter, Karimotu Adenike, was really his wife. Miss Adenike, who is in her mid-30s, was duly granted permission to live in the UK. The pair are waiting for her to be granted a permanent right to remain before they undergo a quiet divorce and attempt to bring the rest of her family here. It is expected she would try to remarry her real husband to get them all visas. More...

Until recently, Mr Adesanya was employed as an occupational health nurse for the Home Office, working with immigration officials at Gatwick airport. A whistleblower sent letters to the High Commission in Lagos and the UK Border Agency including specific details such as names, addresses, passport numbers and even a copy of the wedding photograph. When there was no response, he sent emails to then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and ministers Vernon Coaker and Phil Woolas on February 1 this year. He heard nothing. Sham: Jelili Adesanya and his 'wife' Karimotu Adenike pictured in Britain Mr Adesanya, who came to Britain in 1976, flew back to Nigeria on May 29, 2007, and held the bogus wedding ceremony a few days later at a register office in Ikorodu, Lagos. A source said: 'They paid people to attend the wedding so that the British High Commission in Lagos would believe it was genuine. The commission then gave Karimotu Adenike a two-year settlement visa in October 2007. 'On her settlement visa application form, of course, she did not mention that she already had a husband and four children. 'The date of birth on her Nigerian passport is not her real date of birth.' Miss Adenike is believed to have aged herself by ten years on her wedding certificate to disguise the age gap with her father. Although her settlement visa expired last month, she is hoping to be given the right to remain. David Burrowes, the Conservative MP for Enfield Southgate and Shadow Justice Minister, was also tipped off by the whistleblower and wrote to the Home Office. This time there was a reply, but it said that although the matter was 'under investigation', no further information would be provided because it could 'breach of our obligations under the Data Protection Act'. Mr Burrowes told the Mail: 'I am very surprised and concerned that no action appears to have been taken, because the allegations are extremely serious.' Mr Adesanya, who lives with his daughter in Dagenham, Essex, vehemently denied the plot and said he had never been questioned about the allegations. He said: 'Married my own daughter? I have never heard anything like this in my life. I deny it. She is my wife, not my daughter.' However, asked to confirm his 'wife's' date of birth, he said he did not know without checking her passport, and refused to allow her to speak for herself. Unbeknown to him, his daughter had confirmed the arrangement when she told a friend she would shortly apply for her own British passport and 'divorce daddy'. Last night Jonathan Sedgwick, from the UK Border Agency, said: 'These individuals are already under investigation, and I want to make it clear that abuse of our immigration laws will not be tolerated. 'If we identify marriages which we believe are not genuine, we will challenge them and prosecute where appropriate. 'We are determined to send home any foreign nationals convicted of these types of crimes once they have served their sentences.'

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yeah, dads kissing their daughters, what a fucking disgrace. Obviously you're not familiar with the process of marriage. Either you're suggesting that they kiss each other on the cheek when ordered to 'kiss the bride' or you believe in incest.

noonsun Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Good for him. I'd marry my own son if he wanted to stay here. Edit: Hystw, you are such a fucking moron, you clearly have no fucking idea what it would be like for that poor Nigerian sucker to go back to Nigeria after living in England for so long, the marriage is obviously in name only so that she can stay in what's basically her country and the stupid fucking immigration officials wouldn't kick her ass back into civil war in Africa. Way to fucking go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, if you mean cracking down on immigrants you're even more of a fucking moron, I'm just going to say, Britain seems to me like they've got fucking draconian rules about immigrants, show a little sympathy for these poor fuckers, getting sent back to a war-torn country by one of the best-off and most well-developed countries in the world.

You obviously don't know anything about the British citizen's high level of concern about immigration, particularly amongst the working class. You clearly don't have a clue about this Labour government's refusal to discuss immigration up front, which has pissed off many a voter in this country as you can see here. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/blog/2009/nov/12/immigration-debate-gordon-brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ME doing anything it's Parliament in this country to fully address the state of immigration. I'm not calling for Labour to do this or that, but for them to show some balls for once and discuss a serious issue that they just constantly hide away from. The big wooses.
