Pekeng Portuguese, inaresto sa NAIA

INARESTO ng Bureau of immigration (BI) ang isang Guinean national na tinangkang pumasok ng bansa matapos na nagkunwaring isang Portuguese.

Kinilala ni BI Commissioner Jaime Morente ang dayuhan na si Fatoumata Tanou Diallo, 38, na inaresto ng BI Travel Control and Enforcement Unit (TCEU) sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1.

Si Diallo ay tinangkang pumasok sa bansa dakong alas-4:00 ng hapon sakay ng Air Asia flight mula Incheon, South Korea.

Ayon kay BI’s Intelligence Division Chief Fortunato Manahan, Jr. ginamit ng suspek ang identity ng kanyang kapatid na si Ruguiato Djalo.

“During inspection, our officer noticed that Diallo’s facial features did not match with the picture in the passport she was carrying. She also failed to present other identification cards, or any proof of her admission and departure from South Korea,” ayon kay Manahan.

Nakilala lamang ang tunay na pagkatao ng suspek nang i-surrender nito ang kanyang Republique de Guinee na passport.

Sinabi ni Manahan na ang supek ay pinabalik sa kanyang bansa at naka-blacklist na rin ito at pinagbabawalan na siyang pumasok ng bansa.

“Our officers have undergone forensic training,” he said. “They are trained to detect fraud. Deceiving our officers will only get you in trouble,” paalala ni Morente.

Ang Portuguese passport ni i Djalo’s ay kinumpiska na at i-turn over sa Portuguese Embassy. (Gene Adsuara)
