TWO Brent fraudsters are among 11 touted by the Government as evidence of the impact of benefit scammers.

Between them the group, all sentenced over the past seven months, conned £1 million out of the taxpayer and were labelled “outrageous” by the Department for Work and Pensions.

Amina Muse, 38, claimed to be a Somali asylum seeker and invented a shocking story of gang rape, murder and torture.

But investigators found she was giving birth in Denmark on the day she claimed her house had been attacked and her brothers killed.

She fleeced the taxpayer out of £261,350 over six years and was jailed for four-and-a-half years.

Muse's fraud was the most costly of all 11 con artists named and shamed by the department.

Angela Aniakor, of Windermere Avenue, Wembley, was claiming income support and child benefit but when it came to bailing out her brother she was able to stump up £25,000 within hours.

She was jailed for 18 months.

The Government is using the 11 cases to plug the Welfare Reform Bill, which will see the most serious benefit fraudsters and repeat offenders lose the right to claim for three years.

There will also be a minimum penalty of £350 on top of any money they have to return, along with a four-week benefit ban.
