    Nigerian Olaide Taiwo stole 350 IDs to claim £1.3m benefits | Mail Online

    A Nigerian immigrant stole the identities of 350 people to claim £1.3million in bogus tax credits in the largest benefit scam of its kind.

    Olaide Taiwo, 35, hijacked the identities while working as a security guard for a number of large national companies.
    He then used the names to claim tens of thousands in working tax credits.

    This week he was jailed for eight and a half years – the highest ever sentence for tax credit fraud.
    Taiwo is understood to have arrived illegally in Britain in 2003 with his wife. Although three applications to stay in the UK failed, in 2005 he was granted discretionary leave to remain.

    It was during this period that his scam began. The father-of-two submitted more than 300 fraudulent tax credit claims between June 2004 and July 2008 worth over £1million.

    Why can't our lazy arsed unemployed chav scum show this level of creativity and entrepreneurship?

      Nigeria should set up special universities. They'd make a fortune.
