When we compare two similarly sized disasters, Hillsborough and Grenfell Tower, that had similar numbers of victims, 96 and 72 respectively, we will notice one particular difference between the two cases that is blazingly obvious. That is the number of fraudsters connected with each case. With Hillsborough a brief search throws up one confirmed case of Hillsborough related fraud and a couple of possibles, but nothing on the scale of fraud associated with Grenfell Tower.
It’s very obvious now that there has been a disproportionate amount of fraud associated with Grenfell, when compared to other similar disasters. As I have said earlier when writing about Grenfell, there has been an awful lot of fraud with now 14 cases of scammers taking advantage of the Government cash that was thrown in the direction of the Grenfell victims. There are now so many of these cases that have gone before the courts now that maybe Grenfell should be called ‘Ker-Ching’ Tower, such is the amount of our money that has poured into the pockets of various mountebanks.
Here is the latest case of blatant fraud connected with Grenfell Tower relayed by the Sun newspaper. The Sun’s copy is in italics whereas this blog’s comments are in plain text.
The Sun said:
A MAN who claimed his sister and nephew died in the Grenfell Tower fire to get £35,000 payout is the 14th to be convicted of fraud over the deadly blaze.
I bet that not only are there many more fraud offences to come out regarding Grenfell but there also may be cases where the CPS has dropped prosecution either because there was in their view insufficient evidence to procure a prosecution or which have been dealt with by a police caution. We are now up to case 14 and I suspect that there may be many more Grenfell ‘Ker-ching’ Tower fraudsters to be uncovered.
Abolaji Onafuye, 54, claimed Zainab Deen, 32, who perished in the blaze was his sister and he was sharing a flat with her.
Filthy conscienceless liar
Taxpayers in Kensington and Chelsea footed the £23,500 bill for Onafuye’s stay at the four-star Grosvenor Hotel in Buckingham Palace Road.
Onafuye received another £13,000 in living costs after he was moved to a flat in Hammersmith.
This bastard seems to have got a far better deal out of the local and national government than was the case with Britons who were afflicted by flooding a few years back.
He later admitted he was not staying at the tower block and said he must have been “hallucinating” when he claimed he was.
He then said he was still due compensation because he had seen people screaming for help in the burning building.
But his cell site evidence from his phone showed he was nowhere near he scene.
I’m glad that this liar has been uncovered but why did it take so long to do so and eat up far too much public money? Why wasn’t his fraud uncovered earlier if it was just a matter of checking his cell site use?
A jury at Isleworth Crown Court convicted Onafuye of two counts of fraud by false representation between June 21 last year and June 7 this year.
Good. This bastard is to be sentenced on the 18th December, let’s hope that he gets some gaol time.
He had argued: “I was temporarily insane because I was fasting when I was arrested.”
Oh so not only is Onafuye a lying conscienceless bastard, he is an Islamic lying conscienceless bastard otherwise why else would he be fasting at Ramadan?
Onafuye went to the Westway support centre on June 21 last year and told volunteer, Rica Smirk he was staying in Flat 84.
And of course there appears to have been no checking by Ms Smirk or anyone else at the Westway centre to see if his story is true. This case follows the pattern of many others where people have turned up at the centre, made a false claim that wasn’t checked and was just handed public money.
He claimed Ms Den was his sister and her two year old son Jeremiah was his nephew.
What a scumbag.
In court he insisted the cell site evidence which showed he was nowhere near the flats must have been incorrect.
Lying Muslim scumbag.
I hate to have to admit this but there does seem to be a profound difference between a disaster that affected mostly British people, Hillsborough, and Grenfell a disaster that mostly affected migrants and Muslims. In the case of Hillsborough there seems to be a very low level of fraud but with ‘Ker-Ching’ Tower there seems to be a great deal. The government’s willingness to virtue signal following the Grenfell fire and dish out goodies to those allegedly affected which included not only money, but immunity from immigration law, became as many expected it would become, a magnet for foreign fraudsters. It is well known that disasters can bring out both the best in people and the worst but with Grenfell there has been an awful lot of ‘worst’ to deal with, a highly disproportionate amount of ‘worst’.
I’m damn glad that I never gave any money to the Grenfell appeal as it would have most surely have ended up in the pockets of scum like Onafuye or those like him.

Blazingly? A Freudian slip or an intended pun?
