[PHOTO] Nigerian Pastor In UK, Samuel Kayode Sentenced To Nine Years In Jail Over £4.1million Education Scam

In what is termed Britain’s biggest ever education fraud, a Nigerian accountant pastor in the United Kingdom, Samuel Kayode, has been sentenced to nine years in prison for stealing £4.1million of tax payers money and lavishing it on four women.

Kayode, 59 – a part-time pastor –allegedly spent the cash on his real wife, a second ‘wife’ and two alleged mistresses.

He also bought luxury cars including a Mercedes, an Audi TT sports car and an Infiniti, and is also feared to have sent much of the money to his homeland of Nigeria.

Kayode was sentenced on Friday by Woolwich Crown Court in South London for defrauding Haberdashers’ Aske’s state schools in the UK.

The part-time pastor, who earned £57, 000 per annum, was convicted after being found guilty of £150,000 theft and £3.95million fraud. Out of the £4.1million, only £800, 000 was recovered from him.

Described as “dishonest” and “greedy”, the court heard how Kayode lavished the stolen money on four women, his wife, Grace; a second ‘wife’ in Nigeria, Olubunmi Halima; and two other women in the UK.

The court also heard how for seven years the convict looted the accounts of Haberdashers. He was said to be secretive, locking himself in his office to work late, “after arriving in a Mercedes, wearing £500 Gucci shoes and carrying a Louis Vuitton briefcase.”
