TEN Nigerians, including six children, have been arrested on allegations of staying in the country illegally. The 10 are from two families and were arrested by officers from the Department of Immigration on Monday morning in Harare.
They are Anthony Ikenna Muoma, his wife Ogujiuba Ojinika and their four children and Joseph Ikenna Oguji alias Joseph Ihekwoaba, his wife Lilian Chidinwa Ihekwoaba and their two children.
A few years ago, Muoma came to Zimbabwe and wedded a Zimbabwean woman, Eddelin Sadomba, in a bid to continue staying here.
Oguji also did the same and married Abelesi Abigal Khumalo in 1999.
The two tied the knot at the magistrate court.
Assistant regional immigration officer Mr Francis Mabika said Muoma and Oguji, who were already married in Nigeria, later brought in their wives and children.
Muoma is alleged to have bought an air ticket and sent his Zimbabwean "wife" Sadomba to the United Kingdom.
His wife arrived in the country on December 14, 2006 on a holiday visa, but continued to stay in the country after it had expired. - HR.
