Immigration Rejects Mike Ozekhome Passport In Court
The Nigeria Immigration Service has told a court that a passport presented in a London property dispute does not exist in its records.
The statement was made during proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja involving Mike Ozekhome and Ponfa Useni over alleged forgery and related offences.
A prosecution witness said checks on the passport details returned no result in the agency’s database.
He explained that every valid passport issued by the service is captured electronically with full identity records, including biometric data and identification numbers.
The witness added that the passport process follows strict stages, from application to issuance, all of which leave a traceable record.
He noted that while the document looked genuine, its number could not be verified within the system.
The case centres on claims that false documents were used to support ownership of a London property linked to the late Jeremiah Useni. The court adjourned the matter to May 18 for continuation of trial.
