The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has formally charged three individuals with visa fraud in Ibadan, the bustling capital of Oyo State, Nigeria. The suspects, identified as Emmanuel Serah Motunrayo, Awotunde Olugbenga, and Idowu Olugbemi Sunday, appeared before Justice Olusola Adetujoye of the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan on Thursday.
