A notorious Nigerian criminal who raped a teenager in the UK previously escaped deportation despite a violent past. Gift Oladele, 24, was jailed last year for falsely imprisoning a woman in Manchester. Yet he avoided being kicked out of the country by claiming a “right to a family life.”

Two-Year Sentence for Daylight False Imprisonment

According to North Wales Live, Oladele has lived in the UK since he was 11. In December 2022, he was slapped with a two-year prison sentence after he “pounced on” a woman in broad daylight and trapped her, although she eventually broke free.

Home Office Ordered Deportation – But He Fought Back

The Home Office moved to deport Oladele in 2023 following his conviction. But the thug successfully appealed the decision. His legal team argued he had a “right to a family life” in the UK — allowing him to remain free.
