A 19-year-old Congo national was jailed on Thursday for using a French passport that did not belong to her to enter Singapore.Florida Luputu, who was jailed three months and fined $2,000, claimed she had done so to escape the war in her country.Luputu, arrived in Singapore on July 15 and an immigration officer at Changi Airport allowed her through, not knowing she was using a passport that did not belong to her.She was only picked up 15 days later when she tried to leave the country for Germany.

The Congo national taught that she can slipped out of the country easily. However after so many cases of immigration failure, the officer in charge is very vigiliant and cautious of the passport scandal.
Previously there was a mix out between the father and son's passport.
The father use the son's passport to travel and after touch down in foreign countru then he realised the mistake.
