Simon Guobadia Still In Ice Custody, May Attend Divorce Hearing Under Supervision

Porsha Williams’ Estranged Husband Simon Guobadia Is Still In Ice Custody, May Attend Divorce Hearing Under Federal Supervision

Porsha Williams’ divorce from estranged husband Simon Guobadia took a dramatic turn when the Nigerian businessman was detained in an ICE facility, specifically Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia.

The 60-year-old was taken into ICE custody amid President Trump’s mass deportation plan, which he signed into effect with several executive orders.

According to new reports reaching us, Simon may be escorted to an upcoming court hearing by federal agents. Porsha and Guobadia are battling over the enforcement of their prenuptial agreement, and are set to appear in court on April 30.

While the Real Housewives of Atlanta star and her legal team were present, the Nigerian businessman was unable to attend due to his continued detention by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

At the time, his attorney filed a motion requesting the hearing be delayed, arguing the matter is substantive and could significantly shape the trajectory of the divorce case. Fortunately for him, the judge granted the continuance and rescheduled the hearing for June 11.

However, the judge acknowledged in the court order that ICE officials said they would facilitate Guobadia’s transport to Fulton County courthouse upon receiving a formal production order. The judge has asked his attorney to prepare and submit this order promptly.

Additionally, the court left room for remote participation if Simon is released prior to the new hearing date, requesting advance notice if that situation arises.

According to reports, the businessman remains in ICE custody and has yet to be released despite previous expectations. He has been detained for a long period, though the reason for his prolonged detention remains unknown.

The messy divorce case is now a topic of discussion, not only for its celebrity ties but also due to its entanglement with federal immigration enforcement.
