I don’t think it’s misreported. As the article states, the prosecutor did stay the charges so that he could be deported. Right now he’s being held for non-cooperation by the CBSA for refusing to identify himself during the deportation hearing. His current documents are forgeries.

It is a rather interesting case, but I suspect like the other case of Mr. Walker, the CBSA will collect enough information to identify him and deport him to Cameroon. That seems to be the likely country of origin and a good starting point for further investigation.

I meant that the title implies that he was imprisoned for six years purely because he didn’t identify himself. The reality is more complex and a better headline would be something like “Man with forged passport refuses to identify himself, even after being held in prison for six years, initially from an unrelated fraud charge.”
