Zakia Abdul Ahmed Issah, a 26-year-old woman from Ghana, faced legal repercussions after being arrested at Robert Mugabe International Airport for attempting to travel to Dubai with forged Zimbabwean identity documents.
Authorities apprehended her last week, leading to her remand at a local prison while awaiting trial.
This past weekend was spent in detention as she prepared for her court appearance.
On Monday, she was presented before the Harare Magistrates Court, where her case was heard by Magistrate Ruth Moyo.
After deliberation, the court found her guilty of the charges against her.
In a ruling that underscored the seriousness of her offense, Issah was sentenced to an effective eight months in prison.
This case spotlights ongoing issues surrounding identity fraud, especially in international travel.
