Lagos, Nigeria – The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) arraigned visa agent Mr. Adediwura Adesina Stanley before Lagos State High Court on March 11, 2026. He faces charges of conspiracy, forgery, and using false documents for a UK visa. Nigeria, West Africa’s most populous nation, cracks down on immigration fraud.
Mr. Stanley allegedly worked with Olufemi Samuel Adewunmi and Oluwayemi Oyinkan to create fake papers. The forged items included a corporate payslip and United Bank for Africa bank statement. These aimed to deceive UK Visas and Immigration.
Okay News reports the charges under Sections 516 and 467 of the Criminal Code Act. ICPC also cited the ICPC Act 2000 for false statements to officials. Justice I. Ijelu heard case ID/27584C/2026.
Prosecutor Mrs. Yvonne Williams-Mbata opposed bail over flight risk fears. Defense filed replies, but the court granted N10 million bail with two sureties. One must be a Lagos blood relative; both show tax and address proof.
The defendant surrendered his passport and can’t travel. Sureties swear he stays put during trial. ICPC fights document fraud in visa processes.
A related case hit an immigration officer for multiple salaries. Mr. Abubakar Mohammed Aseku allegedly took N17.6 million from agencies while on duty. Such probes protect public funds.
Authorities target scams preying on visa dreams. Citizens lose millions to fake agents yearly. Verification saves grief amid tight UK rules.
