June Ashimola's property case reveals a tangled web of deceit as the High Court confirmed her as alive, countering claims of her death from February 2019. Initially presumed dead, Ashimola testified via videolink from Nigeria, producing a recently expired passport as proof of her identity. The court revealed that a false death certificate had been issued, allegedly by the convicted fraudster Tony Ashikodi, who sought control over her £347,000 home. The court further invalidated the legitimacy of a supposed marriage to Bakare Olatoye Lasisi, confirming he likely does not exist as claimed.
In a stunning legal decision, the court ruled that June Ashimola, previously believed dead, is alive, overturning claims of a fraudulent death certificate.
Deputy Master John Linwood found that June Ashimola's alleged death was a scheme orchestrated by convicted fraudster Tony Ashikodi, who sought control of her property.
The judge highlighted that Mr. Lasisi's marriage to Ms. Ashimola was fictitious and that there was substantial evidence supporting the claim of a false death certificate.
Ashimola provided a recently expired passport during a court appearance, which helped prove her identity, leading to a dramatic reversal of her presumed death.
