The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on February 13, 2017 secured
the conviction of Olugbenga Fanbunmi,
who was arraigned before Justice Mamman Kolo of the Federal Capital Territory,
FCT High Court on one-count charge bordering on advance fee fraud.
Fanbunmi,
who holds a diploma from the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ogun State, is a
member of a syndicate that specializes in forging bank statements, employment
records, international passports, national identification card, and supporting
documents needed to process visas for the United Kingdom.
His
nefarious activities date back to 2005 during which he mastered the art of
forging documents for “abusive visa applications”. Between 2007 and 2016 he
helped to forge bank statements as part of documents to process UK visa for 11
people. He had succeeded in helping 15 people obtain visas to travel to the UK
where they were forced into prostitution.
He pleaded
“guilty” to the charge on February 9, 2017.
Based on
his plea, Justice Kolo, convicted him of the charge and sentenced him to four
years in prison
