3 foreigners deported for using fake passports at NAIA

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) deported three foreigners who used fake passports at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to enter the country.

The foreigners, identified as Kiribati national Eliezear Mercy Obiora and Senegalese nationals Jonas Mendy and George Mendy, were placed under Immigration’s blacklist following the arrest, reported Inquirer.net.

BI spokesperson Dana Krizia Sandoval said that the investigation of the Immigration’s forensic document laboratory showed that the biographical pages of the foreigners’ passports were altered. Moreover, the foreigners could not explain their purpose for entering the country when interviewed.

Sandoval said that the Immigration suspects that the foreigners are using the country “as a jump off point to other first world countries.”

Obiora was apprehended at NAIA Terminal 1 on October 4 while Jonas Mendy and George Mendy were arrested at NAIA Terminal 3 on October 8 and October 11 respectively.
