Tuesday, June 23, 2026 - The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a Nigerian man, Ayodeji Olamide Ajayi, who was convicted of multiple offences.
ICE announced this in a statement on X on Monday, June 22,
2026, saying Ajayi will be leaving the United States shortly.
Ajayi, whose criminal record include r@pe, kidnapping,
trespassing, intimidation, and obstruction, now faces deportation back to
Nigeria.
According to a 2024 report, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s
Office Criminal Warrants Unit in Tennessee, conducted a manhunt for Ajayi, who
was wanted in an aggravated r@pe case.
Ajayi, was eventually located and arrested in Bradley
County.
HCSO detectives told the suspect on a phone call to
surrender; however, Ajayi said he would not surrender, that he had a gun,
and that he was going to act in a way that would force law enforcement to k!ll
him.
After a lengthy standoff, detectives were able to maintain
contact with Ajayi and persuaded him to peacefully surrender. He had a toy BB
pistol, not a real pistol, as he claimed.
HCSO says Ajayi had several active felony warrants and was
being charged with four counts of aggravated r@pe, one count of @pe, aggravated
burglary, s3xual battery, aggravated kidnapping and domestic assault.
According to ICE, Ajayi remained in the country illegally
after entering on a student visa in 2007.
"Ayodeji Olamide Ajayi, of Nigeria, entered the United
States in 2007 on a student visa and eventually left school, but failed to
leave the country,” ICE stated.
"Instead, he stayed in the U.S. and got to work on a
lengthy rap sheet that includes convictions such as domestic violence,
trespassing, intimidation, and obstruction.
"His criminal history also includes these egregious
charges: kidnapping, r@pe and family neglect.
“Thanks to @POTUS’ commitment to getting criminal illegal
aliens out of this country, Ajayi will be leaving the United States shortly.”
