EFCC Arrests Man For Issuing Fake Visas

A suspected fraudster Ajayi Olalekan Ezekiel, has been arrested by men of the Economies and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] for the issuance of fake Argentina visas. According to report, Ezekiel allegedly procured fake Argentina visas for two persons Oseni Ibrahim and Idudhe Ovuokero.

Narrating his ordeal to operatives of the Cyber Crime Unit of the Commission’s Lagos office, one of the victims, Ibrahim, said he met one Olajide Kehinde sometime in 2016, during his quest to travel abroad. Kehinde had promised to help him secure a Ghanaian visa for the sum of N 200, 000.

He claimed he gave Kehinde the sum of N 170, 000 as part payment but Kehidne was unable to secure the visa. He instead  advised Ibrahim to pay the sum of N 270, 000 to enable him procure an Argentina Visa instead.

Ibrahim said Kehinde eventually gave him an Argentina Visa which he told him was procured through the assistance of the suspect, Ezekiel.

Things however took a different turn when Ibrahim e-mailed the Visa to the Argentina Embassy in Abuja for authentication, but was informed that the Visa was not genuine, a situation that prompted him to immediately contact the suspect. .

Ezekiel, in his efforts to pacify Ibrahim, allegedly promised to procure the South Africa visa for him, but he never did. Ezekiel, who operates an unregistered ticketing agency, will soon be charged to court after investigations are concluded.
