A MINICAB driver living in a luxurious mansion worth more than £1m while his benefit cheat wife drove a Merc and wore a Rolex has been ordered to pay back £1.2m. Ovo Mayomi, 44, claimed he was earning £700 a month and living in Croydon, south London.

All mod cons: The mansion was found to be equipped with £89,000 worth of sound equipment
His wife Juliet Ubiribo, 32, told benefit bosses she was a single mum so she could claim housing and council tax benefit.
She also asked the council to rehouse her because she was a victim of domestic violence – but the phone number she gave revealed her landlord, Ayiomiken Neburagho, was really her husband Mayomi using a false identity.
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.
He also wore a £25,000 watch and his wife drove a Mercedes Sport Coupe.
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.
As well as two money-transferring businesses and bank accounts, investigators also discovered Mayomi owned a fish farm in the country.

I KNOW ALOT OF WOMEN FROM NIGERIA, ZIMBABWE, WHO CLAIM TO BE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THE COUNCIL GIVES THEM HOUSE AND PLACE THEM ON WEEKLY BENEFIT WITHOUT COUNCIL TAX, IT IS VERY COMMON IN UK. SHE IS NOT THE FIRST AND WILL NOT BE THE LAST

You could be right. Only problem is, the man says he makes £700 per month.
