Immigration officers arrest Cairo-bound girls with fake identity on their passports

Officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service stationed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja have apprehended two girls identified as Adebayo Kazeem and Babalola Kehinde, with tampered passports.  According to a statement released by the spokesperson of the Immigraion Service, DCI Sunday James, the ladies were about to board a Cairo-bound Egypt Airline flight on Thursday, January 21 when the Migration Information and Data Analysis System failed to scan their passports due to an imposed fake identity of the true holder. The statement in part reads “They were duly subjected to interrogation when caught against their claim of traveling for business as the journey was arranged by a suspect, Muri, whose number was called many times without response.He was alleged to be behind the processing of the tampered passports  with a man’s picture on the chip when read by the MIDAS scanner; an offence punishable by the Immigration Act 2015 on passport-related offences relating to aiding, identity theft and tampering with a passport.” The spokesperson said the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Muhammad Babandede, has ordered a thorough investigation into the incident. He added that the two passports have been withdrawn as evidence and kept in custody until the said Muri is arrested.  The post Immigration officers arrest Cairo-bound girls with fake identity on their passports appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
