Tourist wrongly detained in jail
A man accused of being an illegal immigrant while on holiday in Northern Ireland has been paid £7,500 after he was wrongly put in prison.
The Immigration Service wrongly detained the man in Maghaberry jail.
Frank Kakopa who is originally from Zimbabwe, was on a short break with his wife and young children in 2005, when he was stopped at Belfast City Airport.
Despite showing documentation that he lived and worked in England, he was taken to prison.
He was strip searched and held for two days.
Mr Kakopa said the experience still haunted him.

The strip searching thing again.
The job of prison officer must be a pervert magnet. How does one apply?
