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.
