Uganda to deport Tanzanian over forged passport

Uganda is in the process of deporting a 39-year-Tanzanian who was found with a fake Ugandan Passport in Iran.

Paul Kaselo Ollaka, 39 entered Uganda on April 20 aboard a Turkish Airline from Iran.

New Vision has learnt that the Iranians deported him back to Uganda after serving an 11 year-jail term for trafficking in illegal drugs and being in possession of fake travel documents.  

 

The Spokesperson of the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration, Jacob Siminyu told New Vision that Kaselo's passport was in the names of Paul Kafero but carrying his true passport photos.

Siminyu said Uganda will deport Kaselo back to Tanzania that will decide his fate since he has already served a long jail term in Iran.

He also explained that Uganda stopped using the type of passports which Kaselo was arrested with in 2004 because they were very easy to forge.
