Nigerian Man Jailed in London for Rape; Will Be Deported to Nigeria After Serving Term.


Olaoluwa Ibrahim is originally from Nigerian but resides in London. He appeared at the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday July 28, where he was sentenced for rape and theft. According to sources, Ibrahim, 38, approached his victim, as she got off a night bus in Maida Vale area. He tried to start a conversation with her but she ignored him. Ibrahim grabbed her and pushed her into a driveway where he raped her and made away with her phone. The incident happened in the early hours of June 24 2014. The victim managed to go home and later contacted police. Officers were able to trace Ibrahim via extensive phone inquiries as he had made a number of calls to the victim’s new phone following the incident.

He denied the attack at first, until detectives uncovered DNA evidence. He then claimed he had consensual sex with the victim, he later changed his story again, admitting rape.

His victim gave evidence in the case via video link from Australia, where she is now living, police said. The judge ruled that Ibrahim will be deported back to Nigeria after serving his sentence.
Detective Constable Adam Knott, of the Met’s Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command, said that Ibrahim had shown “no remorse or honesty” since he was arrested.
He said: “I would like to reassure the public that attacks of this nature are extremely rare. When they do occur, we do everything we can to bring the offenders to justice.
