The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned a visa agent, Adediwura Adesina Stanley, before the Lagos State High Court over allegations bordering on conspiracy, forgery, and the use of false documents in an attempt to obtain a United Kingdom visa.
Stanley was arraigned on March 11, 2026, before Hon. Justice I. Ijelu in a case marked Charge No: ID/27584C/2026.
According to the charges filed by the Commission, the defendant allegedly conspired with two other individuals, Mr. Olufemi Samuel Adewunmi and Mr. Oluwayemi Oyinkan, to forge financial documents intended to deceive the United Kingdom Visas and Immigration (UKVI) division of the UK Home Office.
The prosecution informed the court that the forged documents included a corporate payslip and a United Bank for Africa (UBA) bank statement, which were allegedly prepared and submitted to facilitate the grant of a visa.
ICPC spokesperson John Odey said in a statement that Stanley is facing charges under Sections 516 and 467 of the Criminal Code Act (Cap C38, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004) for conspiracy to forge and forgery.
He was also charged under Section 17(1)(c) of the ICPC Act 2000 for knowingly using documents containing false statements with the intent to deceive, as well as Section 25(1)(a) of the same Act for allegedly making false statements to a public officer.
