Trio jailed for false papers find in Capital
THREE African nationals have been jailed for a year after being found living and working in Scotland using false documents.
The two women and one man could also face deportation following their sentences after they were arrested during a UK Borders Agency crackdown.
At Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Olubukola Akeukereke, Asumpt Kamau and Philip Waweru all pleaded guilty to having false documents including UK, Nigerian and Kenyan passports and visas.
Microbiologist Miss Akeukereke, 28, had been found at her home in Brunswick Road with fake UK and Nigerian passports in a false name.
Miss Kamau, 43, was found with a Kenyan passport and fake UK residence permit and visa at her West Pilton Park home.
Mr Waweru, 28, was caught with a Kenyan passport and a UK residence permit and visa that were false at his Forrester Park address.
