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.

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.

Corruption Bureau informing this Bureau that immigration officers had asked him
to give them a bribe, which he refused to do.

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.

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. He alleges that, upon arrival, he was
arrested, detained and beaten. Seven days later, that is, on 1 September,2014,
he was expelled, with immigration officers escorting him to the Kenyan border
after he was compelled to sign a notice of deportation and a document attesting
that he is a Kenyan citizen.
