Samson Obama Refused British Visa Over Attempted Sexual Assault
4/12/2009
U.S. President Barack Obama’s half-brother has been denied a visa to come back to Britain after he earlier gave a false name to police when accused of an attempted sexual assault, British media reported on Sunday.
A database showed that British police arrested Samson Obama, who lives in Kenya, last November after he allegedly tried to sexually assault a young girl, the News of the World said.
Obama gave officers a false identity at the time of his arrest, claiming to be Henry Aloo, the report said. He was fingerprinted but not charged and left Britain.
He tried to enter Britain again to visit relatives while on his way to President Obama’s inauguration in January but immigration officials barred him, the News of the World said.
