Deported Nigerian businessman Ali Oumarou Moumounl famously known as Ali Kiza has filed a protest against his deportation.

According to the papers filed in court by Kiza's lawyer Stephen Gitonga, the 47 year old said he left the country on August 22 for business to learn that he had been deported.

Before leaving Nairobi, the Proprietor of Kiza Lounge in Kilimani had applied to the Interior ministry for the renewal of his work permit, but the request took long.

When the matter came up for hearing, a State counsel informed Justice Makau of a deportation order dated August 14.

Mr Gitonga said it was the first time they learned of the deportation order although the State counsel had no documents to back the claim.
