US immigration authorities have taken into custody Olatunde Olusanjo, a 53-year-old Nigerian national, in Los Angeles over past convictions for child molestation and other sexual offences. The arrest was carried out by officers from the Enforcement and Removal Operations office on April 21, 2026. A statement released by the agency on Friday through its official X account confirmed the detention.
Olusanjo faces removal proceedings after being classified as a "criminal illegal alien and convicted sex offender" in an accompanying video. The video shows him in handcuffs as he is escorted from an ICE vehicle into custody. According to the narrator, his criminal record includes arrests for child molestation, sexual battery, and soliciting lewd conduct.
The agency did not disclose details about when or where the original offences occurred, nor the length of any prior sentence. It confirmed only that he is currently held in ICE custody pending deportation. No information was provided about his immigration status at the time of the arrest or whether he entered the US legally. The statement made no mention of victims, ongoing investigations, or court dates.
