The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has secured the conviction of Quadri Adeyinka, an officer of the Nigeria Immigration Service, for passport fraud.

According to a statement by the Commission's Spokesperson and Acting Director of Public Enlightenment and Education, Demola Bakare, FSI, Adeyinka was arraigned before Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Apo, Abuja. He faced a four-count charge related to gratification, conferment of corrupt advantage, and cheating, contrary to the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000, and the Penal Code Act.

During the trial, ICPC Counsel Dr. Osuobeni Akponimisingha presented evidence showing that Adeyinka defrauded Ovie Ojeffia by promising to regularize his international passport in exchange for ₦100,000, which he failed to do. This led Ojeffia to file a petition with the ICPC, resulting in Adeyinka's investigation and subsequent arraignment.

Justice Onwuegbuzie found Adeyinka guilty on all four charges and sentenced him to seven years each for counts 1 and 2, five years for count 4, and two years for count 3, with the sentences to run concurrently.
