The Nigerian Illegal immigrant used forged documents to claim £116k from NHS in Havering.
Mojisola Madandola, 44, of Vicarage Road, Stratford, London, did not have leave to remain in the UK or the right to work. She produced two different forged passports to obtain NHS employment with what is now NHS Outer North East London (formerly Havering Primary Care Trust), and nurse training at London South Bank University (LSBU), funded by NHS London.
Under the employer-sponsored scheme, Madandola continued to receive her salary while studying. She was paid £95,498.80 gross from April 2005 to March 2011, while her tuition fees cost NHS London a further £20,722.50.
She faced five charges in relation to false applications to the NHS Trust and LSBU, the production of two forged passports and the possession of a blank counterfeit birth certificate. She pleaded guilty to three counts and the court left two to remain on file.
Madandola began working for the NHS in February 2002 as a healthcare assistant. To support her application she produced a Nigerian passport bearing a purported Home Office stamp which granted her indefinite leave to remain in the UK. The passport also bore a Heathrow immigration officer’s stamp, dated August 1997. Both stamps were found to be false by the NHS Protect investigation.
In her application to LSBU, Madandola stated that she was Nigerian and had been granted indefinite leave to remain. She produced a second passport bearing an indefinite leave visa. Investigators checked it with the UK Border Agency and it was confirmed to be false, with a serial number belonging to a genuine document issued to another person in 1994.
Madandola had made an application back in 2003 for indefinite leave to remain in the UK as the spouse of a settled person, which was refused in 2006, a decision upheld after she appealed.
She was arrested by police, accompanied by NHS Protect investigators, on a work placement shift at Whipps Cross Hospital, London. A search of her home uncovered various documents including the blank, counterfeit UK birth certificate.
