The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to deport Ibrahim Tunde Ijaoba, a Nigerian man, who was convicted for armed robbery and trade in illicit drugs.

In a notice published on Monday, ICE said Ijaoba is a former member of the ‘Bloods’, a notorious gang famed for violent crimes.

The US immigration agency said he entered the country “illegally” and was convicted of certain crimes, including aggravated assault on a police officer with a firearm, and armed robbery.

“Ibrahim Tunde Ijaoba is a criminal illegal alien from Nigeria and former member of the Bloods — a notoriously violent street gang,” the statement reads.

“He entered illegally and then racked up an extensive rap sheet that includes convictions for: Aggravated assault on a police officer with a firearm; assault & aggravated assault; armed robbery; obstruction; drug sales; and escaping police custody.

“He has a final removal order and awaits deportation in ICE custody.”

Recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Oluwadamilola Ogooluwa Bamigboye, a Nigerian man, for allegedly evading arrest and abducting an immigration officer.

Bamigboye and his accomplice, Rekeya Frazier, have been taken to court on charges bordering on assaulting a federal agent.

The accused was also charged with overstaying his student visa.
