Nigerian businessman still to be deported

Emewusiem-Felex was recently convicted and fined US$500 at the Harare Magistrate Courts.
Assistant Regional Immigration Officer Mr Francis Mabika yesterday said Emeka had not yet paid the fine and was still in custody.
He said once he pays the fine they will process his deportation.
If he fails to pay then he is likely to spend 50 days in prison before being deported. Emeka was arrested by Immigration Department officers in January this year.
He was found in possession of two Nigerian passports with different details.
Emeka operated a restaurant and Internet cafes and was the founder of an organisation called Nigerians in Zimbabwe. He is believed to have made thousands of United States dollars after bringing in hundreds of Nigerians into Zimbabwe illegally.
Some of the Nigerians were arrested and deported after Emeka reportedly failed to process their documents.
Emeka was facing two charges of forging a marriage certificate and using two passports with different details.
The two passports bore the names Emeka Clement Emewusiem, born on February 2, 1971 and Emeka Maxwell Emewusiem-Felex, born on February 2, 1973. He is reported to have entered into the country sometime in 2003 as a student before he married a Zimbabwean woman at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts. Some Nigerians claim Emeka charged them amounts ranging from US$2 000 to US$4 000 to process their illegal stay in Zimbabwe.
