ICPC Arraigns Visa Agent for UK Visa Document Forgery

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned visa agent Adediwura Adesina at the Lagos State High Court for alleged forgery of financial documents intended to support UK visa applications. The arraignment took place on March 11, 2026, before Justice Ijelu, under suit mark ID 27584C 2026.

Adesina is charged with conspiracy to commit forgery and the use of false documents, as outlined in sections 516 and 467 of the Criminal Code Act and section 17(1)(c) of the ICPC Act 2000. The prosecution, led by Mr.

Yvonn William Mbata, argued that Adesina conspired with two others, Olufemi Samuel Adewunmi and Oluwayemi Oyinkan, to produce forged financial documents, including corporate payslips and bank statements, to deceive the UK Home Office. The court granted bail to Adesina in the sum of N10 million with two sureties, and the matter has been adjourned until April 1, 2026, for trial.

ICPC spokesperson J. Okor Odei emphasized the agency's commitment to tackling document fraud.
