The Embassy of Israel, yesterday, said it has intercepted an organized group visa-fraud syndicate involving 21 Nigerians.
A statement by the Senior Media &
Political Officer, Embassy of Israel, Abuja, Tony Obiechina, and made
available to Daily Sun, read in part: “The Embassy of Israel in Nigeria
has intercepted an organized group visa-fraud syndicate involving 21
Nigerians.
“The Embassy was able to detect the fraud
by making use of Israel’s advanced tools and techniques to fish out
fraudulent applications. The embassy does not usually publicize issues
like this, but due to the number of people involved and the organized
method, it is important to keep the people informed about these
developments so that we can collectively improve the system.
“These acts hurt the reputation of
Nigeria and elongate the visa processing time for genuine applicants.
All the relevant details and the names of the people involved have been
submitted to the appropriate authorities.”
