-

The individuals were delivered to the Police Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi which disclosed that it had prosecuted many of them

The SFU (Special Fraud Unit) spokeman has pleaded with Nigerians to stop patronizing fake vendors; advising them to go to the internet if they need information on how to apply for visas.
The Police Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, Lagos state has  disclosed that it has received over 1,185 applicants with fake documents from the Italian Embassy, and has charged many of them to court.
The disclosure was made by the public relations officer of the SFU, Lawal Audu, said many of the embassies, which partner with SFU , have zero tolerance for forgery. Audu noted that these embassies are mainly interested in issuing visas to credible Nigerians. , Guardian reports.
Updateville.blogspot.com gathers that Audu stated: “The American consulate general for instance; every day we receive complaints of fake visa applicants. But the most disturbing is the fake visa visas, fake stamps, both arrival and departure stamps. Most of these applicants appear at the consulate with passports covered with fake travel history”
Audu lamented over the fact that Nigerians, who are desperate to travel abroad would rather go to a fake vendor who might eventually defraud them. He said:” these visa vendors are everywhere”. They will tell prospective customers that they had assisted over hundred people to get the American visa. They will promise to help. And because these visa seekers are vulnerable or don’t care to know how they can apply for visa, they fall prey.

“If you want to know how to apply for visas, just go to the internet. You don’t need to pay anyone or give money to anyone. But rather, many Nigerians prefer to give money to touts, visa agents, and visa vendors. Nobody is appointed to be a visa vendor by any embassy or high commission.
