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.
Denied Deportation, Oladele Went On to Rape
Shockingly, after beating the deportation order, Oladele went on to commit the very serious crime of rape. This case raises tough questions about immigration rules and public safety safeguards.
