United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities in Los Angeles have detained a Nigerian citizen, Etinosa Osahon, in connection with multiple alleged financial and identity related crimes.
Osahon, 49, was arrested on May 21 and remains in federal custody as immigration authorities commence deportation proceedings against him.
According to officials, the suspect has a criminal history tied to alleged possession of stolen mail, banking fraud activities, and aggravated identity theft offences.
The agency said the arrest was part of its continued crackdown on non citizens accused or convicted of serious financial crimes across the United States.
Authorities have yet to provide additional information regarding court proceedings or the expected timeline for his removal case.
