Porsha Williams broke his silence after her alienated Nigerian husband Simon Guobadia was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The 60-year-old Nigerian-born businessman will be held at the Stewart Detention Center in Lompkin, Georgia, according to Us Weekly.
His identity is listed as “custody of ice,” according to the Department of Homeland Security records.
The 43-year-old Atlanta superstar’s reaction to the news, he is divorced from Cubadia, describing it as “dismasing.”
“It was frustrating to see my estranged husband make the choice that led to this result. My top priority is to move forward with my family at the moment. ” she wrote.
The 60-year-old immigrated to the United States from Nigeria in 1982 and was allegedly overdue his visa. According to Atlanta’s WSB-TV 2, he was declared deported in 1985.
Cubadia was arrested in 1987 for bank and credit card fraud. He was later deported to Nigeria in 1992 after being arrested twice. But, in a month he was able to return.
Then, in 2016, he applied for citizenship. However, he was rejected by the U.S. government because his former identity was “illegalized”.
Guobadia filed several complaints and appeals in an attempt to be declared a naturalized citizen. However, his efforts did not succeed.
This is due to President Donald Trump’s order to deport illegal immigrants on a massive scale, which he signed earlier this year.
The order allows the deportation of undocumented immigrants to their country of origin.
In February 2024, he celebrated his life in the United States on Instagram, “Tuesday delighted everyone who has overcome life and perseverance. You are winning Livinginamerica at #42.
Almost 15 months after Williams got married, he filed for divorce in the same month. The two got married in November 2022.
Since then, the two have been in a constant legal battle. In September, Williams won a legal victory when the judge ruled her in favor of the former couple.
In November, court documents showed Williams was granted temporary ownership of temporary residence and gave her “unrestricted” rights to shoot and produce television, movies or social media at home.”
