U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has arrested Nigerian national, Etinosa Osahon in Los Angeles over alleged criminal offences linked to theft and fraud.
In a statement posted on X, ICE Los Angeles said Osahon is currently in its custody pending removal proceedings.
According to the agency, Osahon has a criminal record involving stealing, possession of stolen mail, bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft.
“ICE Los Angeles arrested Etinosa Osahon, 49, of Nigeria, May 21,” the agency wrote.
“Osahon’s criminal record includes stealing and being in possession of stolen mail, bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft. He is in ICE custody pending removal.”
The arrest adds to a series of enforcement actions by US authorities involving Nigerians accused of various criminal offences.

US authorities have in recent months intensified immigration enforcement actions targeting foreign nationals with criminal records.
The Donald Trump administration has also maintained stricter immigration measures affecting several countries, including Nigeria.
