Why did you wife passport carry different date of birth?

that is the first question, but truly, the situation does not look too good, you will need a very good solicitor to help you fight this case (or you can try doing it yourself, if you have enough truth - something you dont have at the moment)

the visa guys have very strong reasons to believe that there has been some forgery in provision of the new passport because the information in the new passport you are using does not correlate with the information on the one your wife had used in her past application

this would be very trying times for you, considering the fact that you are newly wedded and not needing any additional pressure on you, but as a man I besiege you to have a heart-to-heart talk with your wife, I know you trust her which must be why you married her anyway, but just try to soft-speak to her, she needs to come clean with all she knew about her old passport, including why she applied for a visa, what documents she used? (did someone help her when she did it? was all the document genuine and original? etc), if you can know all the truth as a fact, that is what you will use to fight back at the embassy, it might be a case that she will be banned from staying/going to UK for some years, but if you handle it well, it shouldnt affect your own profile (not trying to split you guys, but i believe you understand my drift from above? which simply is, if something bad has been done in the past, you can try to make the best of a bad situation, if you get your own stay, you can continue your family, get her child with her and she can come back if her child lives in the UK) , so there are many solutions, but the first thing is, you need to know the truth and all what has happened in the past.

After that you need to hit the embassy back and collect your passports, they dont have legal right over them (if they are genuine passports.)

Exactly, UK has tonnes of intelligence at their disposal, but you can still fight them, as long as you are genuinely innocent, you dont know anything as to why your wife's DOB suddenly changed, you and your family should be fine, worst case scenario, they will approve your papers and not your wife's one, but you can always get her back after some years if you guys make a baby and the love is still there

They aren't the one to request for the passport again because it is expected that immediately the passport arrived Nigeria with that report immigration services were supposed to call your wife for questioning. So legally what you are to do is simply write th immigration services Abuja attached with a copy of the letter written from the UK home office requesting your wife's passport be returned.
That's what you need to do but as usual the Nigerian system is always flawed so I won't be surprised it will take some undoing.

Best advice would be to use a very good lawyer, I beleive if you make the mistake to leave the country, it would be almost impossible getting back in, better tonuse your last bllod to fight when you are there, those British guys are cunning, once they are successful on making you leave or in removing you, lol, you need more than a good lawyer to get you back and not in the current situation where Nigeria is ruled by a dictator

if your wife has a clean record and the fact that you said the UK visa section admitted the mistake of the entry clearance officer then she can go to the NIS Abuja office.  or get a solicitor to handle your case.

The simple question is, where is her old passport & how did it get lost? The palaver will be half solved, if she can find that passport.
