The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned visa agent Adediwura Adesina Stanley before the Lagos State High Court over allegations of conspiracy, forgery, and the use of false documents to obtain a United Kingdom visa.
The arraignment took place on March 11, 2026, before Hon. Justice I. Ijelu (Case No: ID/27584C/2026). According to the ICPC, Stanley allegedly conspired with Olufemi Samuel Adewunmi and Oluwayemi Oyinkan to forge financial documents, including a corporate payslip and a UBA bank statement, intended to deceive the UK Visas and Immigration division of the UK Home Office.
Stanley faces charges under Sections 516 and 467 of the Criminal Code Act for conspiracy and forgery, as well as Sections 17(1)(c) and 25(1)(a) of the ICPC Act 2000 for using false documents and making false statements to a public officer.
The defence applied for bail, opposed by the prosecution, citing the risk of flight and potential interference with witnesses. Despite objections, the court granted bail of N10 million with two sureties in like sum. Conditions include:
- One surety must be a blood relative residing in Lagos State
- Proof of income tax, livelihood, and residential address
- Affidavit undertaking that Stanley will not leave Nigeria
- International passport deposited with the court
The trial has been adjourned to April 1, 2026.
