Controversy

In March 2025, the BBC published an undercover investigation which alleged that Kelvin Alaneme and others were involved in misleading prospective Nigerian students about UK education and immigration pathways. The documentary claimed that some education consultants were exploiting loopholes in the UK’s immigration system to sell "dreams" of relocation with minimal academic engagement.
