Fake passport

A NIGERIAN national who was working as a DJ in Shenzhen without the necessary permit was nabbed at the Luohu Checkpoint around midnight Sunday while trying to use a fake passport to leave the mainland.

The man, who was not named, arrived at the checkpoint at 11:56 p.m., minutes before the checkpoint was scheduled to close. The immigration officer found that the Namibian passport provided by him did not have the necessary anti-counterfeiting marks, and a further investigation found that the passport was fake. The man confessed he was a Nigerian and that he was heading to Hong Kong to buy some CDs.
