Nigerian Lady Cons Employers To Fund Lavish Wedding

Yinka Saunders, 32 conned her employers to the tune of £17,000 to fund her lavish wedding to Mr. David Osborne. A  £10,000 wedding, as well as a £5,000 honeymoon in the Seychelles. She was spared jail by the judge, after hearing she had paid the money back and will start a teacher training course in September.

Judge Gullick said: “You have a singularly unimpressive record and you have already served a prison sentence some time ago.

“You did not disclose your previous dishonesty to your employers who were prepared to take you on as an administrative assistant on a good salary.

“The fact is within days you were prepared to take advantage. You effectively defrauded others to the tune of £17,000, all of which has been paid back.

“That money was used to finance your wedding which took place in October last year and the subsequent honeymoon.

“You have now started working in a completely different environment. I hope they will never place you in a position of trust with anything to do with money.

“These were serious offences but it appears you are turning your life around.

“If you continue to commit offences of dishonest of this nature you will eventually receive a very long sentence if imprisonment indeed.”

Back in 2007, she stole £35,000 from her previous employer PriceWaterhouseCoopers, where she worked as a tax accountant, and served six months in jail for the offence. 

I read this in the dailies and was stunned, here is an intelligent woman with a 2:1 law degree from Southampton university, gets good jobs; but can stop herself from stealing and blaming others.
