Overview
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has secured the conviction of Remilekun Temitope Balogun-Okedeyi for forging documents of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control to fraudulently obtain a United Kingdom visa.
The commission on Thursday disclosed that the defendant falsely claimed to be a staff member of NAFDAC, presenting forged employment and promotion letters, an identity card, and an introduction letter purportedly issued by the agency.
According to ICPC spokesman, Okor Odey, investigations confirmed that Balogun-Okedeyi was never employed by NAFDAC, rendering all documents attributed to the agency “false and misleading.”
The case, marked ID/27346C/2025 (FRN v. Balogun-Okedeyi), stemmed from a petition by the British Deputy High Commission, which uncovered what the Commission described as a visa racketeering syndicate linked to at least 16 applications and allegedly led by Olusegun Ojo Adigun.
