Aliens to be deported for forged passports

JAKARTA (JP): The Directorate General of Immigration is to
deport a South Korean and a Nigerian for using fake passports to
enter the country, an official said.

Zaiman Nurmatias, head of immigration's control and
supervision department, said over the weekend that Jun Byung-chel
was arrested at the Puri Indah housing complex in East Jakarta
last Thursday.

Jun had falsified his identity in his passport. "The name in
the passport is Jun Pyung-chul. He has a limited stay permit
(Kitas) issued by the South Jakarta Immigration office," Zaiman
said.

According to Zaiman, with the falsified passport and the stay
permit, Jun had worked for PT Yuditya as a technical advisor.

"He is under intensive questioning," he said, but he did not
explain why Jun falsified his passport.

Julian Ifanyichyku Onyebushi, the Nigerian, was found to be
using an American passport, No. 09305573, belonging to Douglas
James Giles.

The photograph in the passport was of Onyebushi, instead of
Giles, Zaiman said.

Onyebushi arrived at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport on Jan. 31 with a short stay tourist visa.

He went to Bali in February, before police arrested him and
sent him to the Ngurah Rai Airport immigration office on the Feb.
26.

Onyebushi had been obstinate in claiming to be an American,
before an American consular officer, invited to attend the
interrogation, confirmed that Onyebushi was not an American. The
envoy also confirmed that the passport carried by Onyebushi was
falsified.

"Julian finally admitted that he is a Nigerian, born in Akpulu
on March 23, 1962," Zaiman said.

The Nigerian said he had visited South Korea with the fake
passport in 1995. He said he bought the American passport from a
friend in Korea after his Nigerian passport expired.

Zaiman said Onyebushi had asked for an Australian visa in
Bali, but was rejected.

He did not say when the deportation of the two would take
place. (sur)
