Nigeria Businessman, Simon Guobadia Deported After 160 Days In US Detention Center
AFTER almost 30 years in the United States, a Nigerian businessman, SIMON GUOBADIA with few companies in Atlanta had been arrested and placed in the detention of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detention Centre for 4 months and deported back to Africa’s most populous black nation.
The deportee married to an American Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Porsha Williams’, 43, had been separated from Guobadia.
The estranged husband have been deported back to Nigeria, his place of birth.
Guobadia is no longer listed on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security system, which has details of all those in ICE custody.
A friend and business partner of Guobadia’s, Tai Savet, has said he is in ‘good spirits’ after a difficult four months in detention.
Amid ongoing protests in Los Angeles over the government’s immigration crackdown, Savet told Us Weekly that Guobadia isn’t angry at President Donald Trump, but would like a sit-down meeting with him.
Guobadia’s deportation comes amid President’s Trump’s deportation programme, which prompted violent protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration and ICE. There is now a curfew in place in certain areas in LA.
Guobadia celebrated living in the US last year with an Instagram post just days before Williams filed for divorce from him, following 15 months of marriage.
Guobadia wrote: ‘Happy Tuesday to all who ever overcame and persevered in life. You are winning #42yearsLivinginAmerica.’
He was first introduced on the Bravo show as the husband of Williams’ RHOA co-star Falynn Pina, however the pair went their separate ways after filming season 13.
Williams broke her silence over the end of her 15-month marriage to Simon, who she first began dating in 2021, and acknowledged the supportive messages she had received from fans.
‘Thank you for your prayers & support.’ she wrote alongside a broken-heart emoji in a caption.
