5. On 2 September,2013, the Applicant sent a letter to the Minister of Home Affairs and lmmigration requesting to know why his travel document was confiscated by the Police. 6. Between April and May 2014, the immigration service opened an investigation and questioned certain residents of the village of Masinono, notably those the Applicant indicated to be his biological parents. Many of them attested that the Applicant was the biological son of Anudo Achok and Dorcas Rombo Jacop, with the exception of his uncle Alal Achock (his father's brother) who stated that the Applicant was born in Kenya to one Damaris Jacobo, and subsequently migrated to Tanzania. 7. The Applicant indicated having written to the Prevention and Combatting of Corruption Bureau informing this Bureau that immigration officers had asked him to give them a bribe, which he refused to do. 8. By a letter dated 21 August,2014, the Minister of Home Affairs and lmmigration informed the Applicant that, after careful verification of all the relevant documents, officials of the lmmigration Department had come to the conclusion that he was not a citizen of Tanzania, and that his Tanzanian passport No. A8125581 had been issued on the basis of fake documents. The Minister's letter further stated that the Applicant's passport had been cancetled and an order issued for him to report to the lmmigration Office for information as to what steps to take to obtain Tanzanian nationality. 9. ln response to that invitation, the Applicant, on 26 August, 2014, unaware of the Minister's letter dated 21 August,2014 went to the lmmigration Office at Manyara with a view to having his passport retumed.
