A 35-YEAR-old Nigerian citizen was arrested on Sunday morning and several false passports, computers and police radios were recovered, police said. Senior Superintendent Chris Wilken said the man was arrested before he boarded a plane to Lagos at the Johannesburg International Airport. Police found 134 empty passports hidden in soap powder boxes. Eleven of the passports were for Swaziland, and the rest were South African. The man is believed to be a recruiting agent, who recruited people from Lagos and falsified passport information for them. ”When they come to South Africa, their passports look in order. Further investigation led to a confiscation of 17 computers in Hillbrow that were used to print false marriage certificates, birth certificates, salary slips, letters of reference and other documents. Police also recovered four police radios used to tap into our frequencies and warn their comrades and hide from the police.” Wilken said the Nigerians came into the country illegally and became involved in various kinds of crime, like dealing in drugs. He said they expect more arrests soon.” The man would appear in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. – Sapa
