Visa Agent Busted: ICPC Alleges UK Visa Fraud, Grants N10M Bail
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned visa agent Adediwura Adesina Stanley over alleged conspiracy, forgery, and attempts to secure a United Kingdom visa using falsified documents.
The Lagos State High Court, presided over by Justice I. Ijelu, heard the case on March 11, 2026 (Charge No: ID/27584C/2026). The ICPC claims Stanley colluded with two others, Olufemi Samuel Adewunmi and Oluwayemi Oyinkan, to forge financial documents
including a corporate payslip and a United Bank for Africa statement intended to deceive the UK Visas and Immigration division.
Stanley is charged under the Criminal Code and ICPC Act for conspiracy, forgery, and knowingly presenting false documents to public officers.
Despite the prosecution’s objection, citing a risk of flight and potential interference with witnesses, Justice Ijelu granted Stanley bail of N10 million with two sureties of similar sum. One surety must be a blood relative living in Lagos, and both must prove income, tax payment, and residence. Stanley must also deposit his international passport and is barred from leaving Nigeria until trial.
The trial is scheduled to begin on April 1, 2026.
