The High Court on Wednesday ordered the deportation of one Patrick Okeke Chukwudu, a Nigerian national who has been in the country illegally for six years.
It is alleged that the 56-year-old has been preying on Nairobi women during that period in a bid to survive.
The accused pleaded guilty to being in the country illegally but revealed that his Nigerian passport had been confiscated by his “Kenyan wife” following a domestic row.

Senior prosecuting counsel Solomon Naulikha told the magistrate that Okeke is a high flight risk and opposed for his release on bond.
He further revealed that the accused was arrested with a vehicle belonging to a Ms Valentine Arigi who reported its disappearance.
“He has no business or residence in Kenya but preys on women whom he conned and moves on to another Kenyan,” added the prosecution.
Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi asked IG Joseph Boinnet and Director of Immigration Gordon Kihalangwa to ensure Mr Okeke is deported on Wednesday night
“The Inspector General of National Police Service to liaise with the Director of Immigration to ensure the accused person is deported this evening. You must be on a flight to Nigeria this evening,” added Mr Andayi.
According to Nairobi News, the Nigerian claimed that he was set up by his Kenyan wife who wanted him deported.
“I bought the vehicle in 2015 from Judy Maneka and my wife set me up with police and I will make sure she will not use my vehicle,” he divulged.
