Nigerian Jailed For Lying About Marital Status On UK Visa Application
Published on
A Special Offences court in Ikeja on Tuesday sentenced a Nigerian UK visa applicant Kolawole Whesus Viyon to 3 years behind bars for lying about his marital status.
The convict who was given an option of N300K fine that must be paid within 24 hours committed the offence with one Akerele Olaronke on the 13th of December 2016.
Viyon and his fleeing accomplice were handed over to the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) by some British High Commission officials in 2016 for giving false information in their visa application forms.
