U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a Nigerian national, Etinosa Osahon, in Los Angeles over alleged fraud-related offences.

In a statement shared on X, ICE Los Angeles said the 49-year-old is currently in custody pending removal proceedings.

According to the agency, Osahon’s alleged criminal record includes theft, possession of stolen mail, bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft.

“ICE Los Angeles arrested Etinosa Osahon, 49, of Nigeria, on May 21. 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 statement read.

The arrest is part of a series of enforcement actions involving Nigerians accused of criminal offences in the United States.

In April, another Nigerian national, Olatunde Olusanjo, was arrested by ICE over alleged sexual offences.

U.S. authorities have recently intensified immigration enforcement against foreign nationals with criminal records, amid stricter immigration policies under President Donald Trump’s administration.
