A Nigerian was arrested here for allegedly trying to travel back to his native country on a fake passport, police said today.
Sima Ige (30) was arrested yesterday at the airport while trying to return to Nigeria after Immigration officials found his travel papers to be fake, police said in a statement.
Based on a complaint filed by the Immigration officials, he was arrested by Airport police, it said, adding, he had a forged passport.
He had arrived in India on a one month visa in March 2013 but had overstayed and was employed in a mobile phone shop in New Delhi and had preferred a complaint there last month that his passport was missing, it said.
In order to return back, he created a fake passport and has come from Delhi to Chennai.
