A man has been convicted of fraud offences after claiming more than £30,000 in accommodation and financial assistance intended for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire
54 year old Abolaji Onafuye was found guilty of two counts of fraud by false representation at Isleworth Crown Court.
During the seven-day trial, the court heard that Onafuye claimed he lived at a flat on the eleventh floor and was the brother of one of the victims who died in the fire.
He then claimed accommodation and financial assistance from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and from the charity Rugby Portobello Trust, worth around £33,0000 before the fraud was discovered.
When arrested and interviewed by officers, Onafuye maintained he had been living on the 11th Floor of Grenfell Tower.
However during the trial he stated that during his interview he only claimed to have been living in Grenfell as he was suffering from temporary insanity caused by not eating during Ramadan.
He later alleged that he had been volunteering after the disaster and was rehoused as a result of suffering trauma during that time.
Onafuye also stated he had never claimed to live in Grenfell Tower and disputed the evidence given by staff from various organisations.
He will be sentenced on Tuesday.

Premier League footballers wowed by music video created by students with severe disabilities
Fulham Football Club's players were among the first to hear ‘Are You Ready for Christmas?’ yesterday.
It's a Christmas single created by a group of young people attending The Children’s Trust School in Tadworth for children with complex education, health, therapy and care needs.
Calum Chambers, Floyd Ayite, Cyrus Christie, Joe Bryan, Jean Michael Seri and Aboubakar Kamara joined the young people for a festive music session, and an exclusive preview of the music video that they have created.
The group of eight students, known as CedarSuperSound, were involved in every step of the songs creation.
Teachers and staff used specialist equipment to enable the young people to select key words for the lyrics.
Each student was provided with specialist and adapted instruments to learn and practise using different parts of their body which, in turn, allowed them independent participation.
The final recording was aired for the very first time during Fulham FC’s visit.
Dalton Leong is the charity's Chief Executive.
Scott Harris is the children's music teacher.
The single can be found on itunes.
