KUWAIT CITY, June 26: Passport officers at the Al-Nuwaiseeb border post have taken into custody a Kuwaiti who was wanted by law in connection with 19 civil and criminal offences, reports Al-Rai daily. The man is also charged with holding dual nationality. Police found on his person two IDs — each carrying different names but the same photo.

The arrest came when the suspect arrived at the border port with a Saudi and both men refused to be searched or checked by the officials. Police records show the man was entering and leaving the country using his Saudi ID that carries a different name. The man has been charged with forging documents to obtain the Kuwaiti nationality.

Illegal man held: The Ahmadi police have arrested an Egyptian for entering the country illegally, reports Al-Anba daily. The Egyptian was seized at a police check point and when police checked his name, records showed he left the country in October 2015. The Egyptian is being interrogated to know how he entered the country.
