EFCC speaks on Immigration CG’s probe for visa fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied reports that it is investigating the Comptroller General (CG) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Kemi Nandap, over alleged visa racketeering.

The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, made this known in a statement issued on Monday, July 20, 2026.

Oyewale described the reports of alleged investigation of Nandap alongside some officers on visa racketeering as false.

Oyewale stated: “The commission wishes to state unequivocally that it has no case with the CG Immigration.

“There are subsisting cases of alleged visa fraud against some immigration officers at the Federal High Court.

“Further investigations are ongoing with the possibility that more NIS officers could be arraigned for alleged fraudulent practices in the near future.

“However, the Immigration CG is not remotely connected to these investigations.

The EFCC spokesman enjoined the media to always seek clarifications on the activities of the anti-graft agency to avoid misrepresentation of facts.
