Patricia Garner from Newport was jailed for eight months for falsely claiming £11,160 in housing benefits. She failed to declare she was the co-owner of a property between April 10 2002 and August 20 2007 at a trial in Abergavenny Magistrates in December.
What took them so long?
But Adekunle Ogunnusi from Wembley, who had been claiming housing and council tax benefit since at least April 1999 posing as a single man on a low income, and illegally obtained £32,815 in benefits from April 1999 to September 2004, received a 52-week suspended jail term, 250 hours unpaid work, and an order for £1,500 towards costs.
A light sentence for a deliberate crime which took a long time to come to court.
