Today, a pair of Nigerians were taken to court and charged with possession of six Cameroon passports that authorities suspect were going to be used in some kind of immigration scam. Francis Njimgoy and Prince Arzutory – both 30 years old – were charged with 6 counts of unlawful possession of passports when they appeared in Belize City Magistrate’s Court today.

On November 27th, police found them with 6 passports with the names of Cameroon nationals in them. Francis, who gave his occupation as a football player pleaded guilty while prince, a taxi driver, pleaded not guilty. But Magistrate Albert Hoare didn’t accept the guilty please because Francis explained that he had the passports because he had taken them to the Immigration Department in Belmopan to get student visas for the holders of the passports.

But Francis did get to plead guilty to another charge and that was for overstaying his time granted on his visitor’s permit for which he was fine done thousand dollars. His associate prince is detained and is expected to be offered bail tomorrow.
