45 year-old Emmanuel Ngue-mowuo (N-GWEH-MOWOU), a native of the Central African country of Republic Cameroon, arrived today at the Phillip Goldson International Airport with a forged passport of a deceased Honduran National.
According to Immigration Officials, he arrived in Belize at around 11 a.m. from a flight from Honduras. When he arrived at the immigration desk, the alert officer on duty received his passport, and noticed something peculiar about the document. The officer did a background check and it was discovered that this passport belonged to the deceased Honduran National David Emmanuel Fabio Matute. Ngue-mowuo was immediately detained and charged with the offence of using a document he was not entitled to.
The national of Cameroon was arraigned this afternoon before Magistrate Hettie Mae Stewart, where he pleaded guilty to the offence. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $2,000 forthwith, and he was told that if he defaults on payment, he will serve 1 year in prison. He was also informed that as soon as he pays the find or serves the sentence in default, he will be deported back to his home country in Western Africa.
