US set to deport Nigerian national convicted of armed robbery, drug peddling
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced plans to deport Ibrahim Tunde Ijaoba, a Nigerian national convicted of armed robbery and involvement in the trade of illicit drugs.
In a notice released on Monday, ICE said Ijaoba was previously a member of the ‘Bloods’, a gang known for violent crimes.
The agency also stated that he entered the US illegally and was convicted of multiple offenses, including aggravated assault on a police officer with a firearm and armed robbery.
“Ibrahim Tunde Ijaoba is a criminal illegal alien from Nigeria and former member of the Bloods, a notoriously violent street gang,” the statement reads.
“He entered illegally and then racked up an extensive rap sheet that includes convictions for: Aggravated assault on a police officer with a firearm; assault & aggravated assault; armed robbery; obstruction; drug sales; and escaping police custody.
“He has a final removal order and awaits deportation in ICE custody.”
Recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Oluwadamilola Ogooluwa Bamigboye, a Nigerian man, for allegedly evading arrest and abducting an immigration officer.
Bamigboye and his accomplice, Rekeya Frazier, have been taken to court on charges bordering on assaulting a federal agent.
The accused was also charged with overstaying his student visa.
