Reality TV star Porsha Williams’ estranged husband, Simon Guobadia, has been deported to Nigeria after spending several months in the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia.
Sources close to the 61-year-old businessman confirmed that he was placed on a flight back to Nigeria in early October 2023, following his arrest by immigration authorities in February of the same year.
Despite the challenging and often harsh conditions within the detention center, friends report that Simon remains in “good spirits.”
He is reportedly focusing on his future endeavours and aspires to reconnect with influential figures, including former President Donald Trump, as he navigates his path forward.
Simon Guobadia is no longer listed in the custody records of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which signifies the finalization of his deportation process.
