Nigerian man Jailed for fake marriage
Desperate 27 Nigerian Jaiyeola Abiola and his Portuguese "bride" Vania Fernandes, 29, have been jailed for their part in a sham wedding ceremony.
Apparently Abiola's student visa was about to expire, so he and Vania decided to get married in an attempt to stay in the UK.
Unfortunately they were arrested just before the wedding was due to start last November.
Immigration staffs were alerted by a registrar who became suspicious that Abiola and Fernandes, appeared to know very little about each other during a pre-marriage interview.
Vania bought her wedding dress, tiara, wedding veil, and flowers dress two hours before the ceremony.
So Border Agency secretly filmed a wedding video of the cars, groom, bride and best man arriving outside the grand 19th century council town hall before arresting them at the door.
Abiola bagged a 12 months term and Fernandes eight months.
