Three Nigerians nabbed for using fake documents in Gujarat

RAJKOT: Three Nigerian nationals were booked by Jamnagar police, for using fake passports and visa documents to travel across the country.

According to police, they had arrested Oniye Heproachi alias Chima alias Anthony (45), Okonkavo Perpetual Gift alias Anabra Asaba (37) and Idumona Kyurti Oniye Yukebu Isele, from New Delhi last week in connection to an online fraud case. The fraud complaint was lodged by a Jamangar-based trader.

The trio had shown their residence in India to be in Dombivli, Mumbai. They had been living in India for the last one and a half years, said police. Investigation revealed that the passports of all three were in custody by Indian authorities. However, they were using fake passports and visas documents to move across the country.

“After their arrest, we sent passports and visa documents of the Nigerian nationals for verification and found them to be fake. So, we lodged a complaint against them under various sections of Indian Penal Code — 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (forgery) and under various sections of The Foreigners Act, 1946," said Jamnagar police..
