Samson Obama, one of President Obama’s half-siblings, was refused entry to the UK due to false documentation. Apparently the president isn’t the only one whose documents are questionable. Samson was allowed to catch a connecting flight to the U.S. without officially entering the U.K.
There’s some rising buzz about Barack Obama’s brother Samson’s UK incident in 2009. The story is old, but is generating renewed interest.
According to BBC News, “A Home Office spokesman said Samson Obama was denied a visa after immigration officers noticed one of his documents was false. That led them to further inquiries.”
News of the World reports, “But eagle-eyed immigration officials at East Midlands Airport, using the latest biometric tests, discovered he was linked to an incident here last November. The hi-tech database revealed that Samson – who manages a mobile phone shop just outside Nairobi – was the same man arrested by British police after he approached a group of young girls, including a 13 year-old, and allegedly tried to sexually assault one of them.”
Further inquiries revealed that he was linked to a sexual assault on a British girl. He was questioned about the Berkshire attack, but not detained.
“He then followed them into a cafe where he became aggressive and was asked to leave by the owner. That’s when police were called and Samson was arrested.”
