Five persons have been arrested by the Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, Lagos, for their alleged participation in a visa scam.
The suspects, Micheal Raji, Johnson Adegoke, Oladimeji Popoola, John Osaghae and Smart Imafidon, were arrested by SFU operatives following petitions by the United States Consulate, Lagos, and.....
the British Deputy High Commission.
Raji, a 32-year-old Higher National Diploma holder was said to have presented a Nigerian passport containing a forged UK visa during a US non-immigrant visa interview.
Raji allegedly confessed that the visa was given to him by Popoola who had directed that Adegoke should accompany him to the interview. Having made a part payment of N200,000 to Popoola for the visa, Raji was to pay the balance of N300,000 to Adegoke after his interview at the US embassy.
The SFU Commissioner of Police, Mr. Tunde Ogunsakin said, “Popoola, a forged document vendor, admitted that Raji had approached him for his assistance to procure a US visa. He confessed that he had contacted one Taiwo Akande at Oluwole, who had procured a UK visa and Holland visa for N150,000 each.
“The visas which took a week to procure were delivered to Popoola at Molete, Ibadan, Oyo State.”
