One of the Nigerians named Yusuf Olalekan Mustapha was was reportedly involved in another passport forging offence.
They were all arrested when police in Xiamen, a coastal city in Fujian Province, raided the fake passport ring on May 6. Most of the men, the police said, did not have valid identity documents when they were arrested.
According to the reports, Xiamen police found photos of foreign nationals, false documents and bank cards at the residences of the ring members.
