Illegal rumbled at Old Bailey
09 Sep 2006( The Sun online)
COPS swooped to arrest a crooked illegal immigrant after discovering him working at the Old Bailey as a security guard. Nigerian Layi Bamidele, 56 previously booted out of Britain TWICE was given the job by bungling officials despite having a criminal record. Detectives seized him at Britain’s most famous court home to major terrorist trials following a tip-off he had used a false name. Last night a huge investigation was launched into the security scandal after it was revealed Bamidele had been working there for 2½ years. An Old Bailey insider said: “Bearing in mind what goes on here, it’s terrifying. He could have let virtually anyone in.” Anti-terror expert Chris Dobson said: “If a terrorist had exploited a woeful shortcoming of this kind, the results don’t bear thinking about. It’s hard to imagine a more high-profile target apparently so accessible.
