A 35-year-old man has been remanded on bail after he pleaded guilty to four fraud offences following a Garda investigation into people falsely claiming Pandemic Unemployment Payments from the Department of Social Protection.

Oluwagbewikeke Lewis with an address at Brookdale, Midleton, Co Cork confirmed a signed plea of guilty to the four charges when he appeared before Judge Sean O Donnabhain at Cork Circuit Criminal Court today.

Lewis pleaded guilty to possessing a false passport in the name of Faez Ayodele Akanbi at Ballyvodock, Midleton, Co Cork on November 6th 2020, knowing it to be a false instrument or document.

Lewis also pleaded guilty to a second charge of possessing a false passport in the name of Bim Tijani Akinwale at Ballyvodock, Midleton, Co Cork on November 6th 2020, also knowing it to be a false document.

False
And Lewis also pleaded guilty to another charge of possessing a false Permanent TSB Statement in the name of Akinwale Tijani at Ballyvodock, Midleton, Co Cork on November 6th 2020, knowing it to be a false document.

And Lewis also pleaded guilty to a fourth count of possessing a false Permanent TSB statement in the name of Nosakhare Igbingle at Ballyvodock, Midleton, Co Cork on November 6th 2020, knowing it to be a false document.

All four charges to which Lewis pleaded were contrary to Section 29 (2) and (6) of the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud offences Act) 2001 and followed a garda investigation into pandemic unemployment payment fraud.

Judge Sean O Donnabhain noted the guilty pleas to all four charges and he remanded Lewis on continuing bail to appear again at Cork Circuit Criminal Court again on May 19th for sentence.


It must be galling for the local lads seeing their names used in a fraud!

A talented footballer and a promising boxer with exceptional artistic skills would suffer unduly from a custodial sentence. Perhaps a formula could be reached whereby he only serves one year for every letter in his name.

PUP been running fer a year now at a Trummer a week average and he had 4 accounts on the go, that works out at about 60K fer the year.
But you can be sure he will play the Violin in court with the usual abusive background and racist bullshite and stating his family commitments and get a suspended sentence and pay back the 60K at a Fiver a week !

As Judge O'Donabhaín said, "Maureen Ni Houlihan paying herself".

Tip of the iceberg. Once the Dept said there'd be no checks on immigration status in making puppy dole payments it was open season.

If there are people feigning seeking asylum, perhaps they should be accommodated in the Central Mental Hospital?

Nope, I'm Fookin 'Snow White' these days. I took the PUP fer 3 weeks back in March last year, then signed off and went back to work in April last year. Then signed on again in October when we as self employed Taxi drivers were allowed. Since last October when Level 5 came in, it's not worth my while working anymore, at a Fiver an hour !

Amen.  Bound to be fraud when all you needed was a PPS number and a bank account!   I think there was one case where an Irish lad had 30 or 40 claims on the go.

Is it just a coincidence that all the blacks vote SF and SF topped the poll at the last election. What paperwork do you need to vote?
