US deports Nigerian after domestic violence, other convictions

The United States has deported a Nigerian national, Ayodeji Ajayi, following multiple criminal convictions, including domestic violence, as part of its ongoing immigration enforcement efforts.

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement disclosed this in a statement posted on its official X account on Tuesday, saying Ajayi had remained in the country illegally after entering on a student visa nearly two decades ago.

According to the agency, “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 said instead of departing the US after leaving school, Ajayi accumulated a lengthy criminal record.

The agency stated, “Instead, he stayed in the US and got to work on a lengthy rap sheet” that includes convictions for domestic violence, trespassing, intimidation and obstruction.

It added that his criminal history also includes charges of “kidnapping, rape and family neglect.”

The agency attributed the deportation to the immigration enforcement policies of President Donald Trump.

It said, “Thanks to @POTUS’ commitment to getting criminal illegal aliens out of this country, Ajayi will be leaving the United States shortly.”

Although the agency announced that Ajayi would be removed from the country, it did not disclose when the deportation was carried out or provide further details about the offences, including where the convictions occurred or the status of the additional criminal charges.

The deportation comes amid the Trump administration’s continued crackdown on undocumented immigrants with criminal records, with immigration authorities stepping up enforcement actions and removals across the United States.
