Solomon Adeyemi
Case Information & Details
Solomon Adeyemi has been involved in significant public criminal proceedings in the UK, primarily related to a large-scale fraud against the National Health Service (NHS).
Key Facts and Charges:
Solomon Adeyemi, 57, of Cole Hall Lane, Birmingham, was implicated in a scheme to defraud the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. He was the director of Ultimate Medical Limited (UML), a company that allegedly received stolen medical supplies from an NHS employee, Emmanuel Nbanga, and then sold them back to the trust, effectively making the NHS pay twice for its own stock. UML also supplied sub-standard medical products sourced from China to the Alexandra Hospital. The total value of NHS losses attributed to the fraud, including Adeyemi's earnings from fraudulently obtained healthcare assistant jobs, amounted to £367,759.
Adeyemi faced several charges, including:
- Being concerned in the acquisition, retention, or use of criminal property by fraudulently obtaining payments from the NHS trust between October 23, 2017, and February 7, 2020.
- Concealing, disguising, converting, or transferring criminal property by making cheque payments and electronic transfers into personal accounts of co-defendants and a business account between December 27, 2017, and November 7, 2019.
- Acquiring or using criminal property by fraudulently obtaining bank transfers from the NHS trust into the account of Ultimate Medical UK Ltd between December 27, 2017, and July 29, 2019.
- Possessing or controlling identity documents with intent, specifically a forged Nigerian passport in the name of Patrick Smith, a forged National Insurance number card, and bank statements in a false name, which he used to secure jobs as a healthcare assistant at two NHS trusts, earning nearly £119,000.
Court Appearances and Decisions:
Adeyemi, alongside Emmanuel Nbanga and Remilekun Olusesi, was arrested and interviewed in September 2019 and reinterviewed in March 2020. They appeared in court in January and February 2021, where they did not initially enter pleas to charges of fraud, theft, and money laundering. A trial date was set for May 3, 2022, with arraignment anticipated on July 12, 2021. All three pleaded not guilty at a hearing at Worcester Crown Court on July 19, 2021.
On June 30, 2026, following a trial at Worcester Crown Court, Solomon Adeyemi was found guilty of fraudulent trading. He had previously pleaded guilty to possessing/controlling identity documents with intent. Adeyemi and Nbanga were remanded in custody, as the judge considered them to be flight risks. Sentencing for all three individuals is expected at a later date.
Other Public Records:
An "ADEYEMI Solomon" is listed in public court records for a criminal case (01WW5008822) at Kingston upon Thames, with a hearing date of May 11, 2026. However, specific charges or outcomes for this particular entry are not detailed in the available information, and it is unclear if this refers to the same individual.
No other specific criminal records or case details for an individual named 'Solomon Adeyemi' in the UK were found in the provided search results beyond the NHS fraud case and the Kingston upon Thames court listing. The case involving "Adebayo Adeyemi" for sexual offenses is a different individual due to the differing first name.
