Nigerian Man Faces Deportation After Shooting in Ex-Girlfriend Dispute

A 23-year-old Nigerian student studying in the U.S., Godson Oghenebrume, received a sentence of 27 months in prison and will be deported following his admission to unlawfully owning a gun and discharging several rounds during an argument with his former girlfriend, who came to his residence with their newborn baby.

The U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana, Kurt Wall, revealed this information in a statement released on Wednesday.

Wall mentioned that Oghenebrume received a sentence from U.S. Chief Judge Shelly Dick after being found guilty of possessing a weapon as "an alien who entered the United States on a non-immigrant visa."

He stated that the prisoner "may be removed or deported from the United States after serving their sentence."

As per the declaration, Oghenebrume acknowledged that "On February 7, 2025, Oghenebrume had a Glock model 43X, 9mm handgun with him when he entered the U.S. on an F-1 non-immigrant student visa."

Providing information about the event, the U.S. Attorney's Office stated that Oghenebrume was in his apartment with another woman when his ex-girlfriend, who is also the mother of his newborn child, came to the house carrying the baby.

It was mentioned, "Oghenebrume, who was in the apartment along with another young woman, stepped outside, leading to a confrontation between him and the mother of his child."

Throughout the disagreement, with the infant nearby, Oghenebrume fired the gun.

Wall mentioned that the suspect eventually went back to his apartment, yet the dispute persisted when his former girlfriend arrived and discovered him with another woman.

He stated, "This dispute originated from inside the apartment, and Oghenebrume fired the gun several times as the woman who was pregnant with his child ran away. Several bullet marks were seen on the walls of the building."

He also claimed that Oghenebrume broke his former girlfriend's phone and took the infant, who was present during the entire event.

Prosecutors further stated that Oghenebrume tried to avoid being taken into custody when officers from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Department showed up.

Oghenebrume's former girlfriend then went to the other woman, who was trying to depart, and requested her assistance in retrieving the infant. She consented to help and managed to take the child away from Oghenebrume.

When officers from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office reached the apartment complex, Oghenebrume moved away from them, disregarding their instructions, and threw the Glock model 43X, 9mm handgun into nearby bushes. Oghenebrume was shortly afterwards taken into custody.

As per the declaration, a neighbor reported having heard gunfire, informing authorities that "his ears were still buzzing."

He mentioned that following a Miranda warning, police questioned the Nigerian student about why he discharged the firearm.

The declaration stated, "He asserted that he wished for his former girlfriend to return home and that he fired the weapon to frighten her off."

Just over a week ago, PUNCH Metro stated that the United States expelled a Nigerian citizen named Ayodeji Ajayi, after he had several legal offenses, such as assault within the home, as part of their continuous actions related to immigration control.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has indicated that Ajayi has been residing in the country unlawfully since arriving on a student visa almost twenty years ago.

Prosecutor Demands 8-Month Sentence for YouTube Spy Claim

The prosecutor asked for an eight-month jail term for a YouTube content creator who alleged that Kim Hee-young, head of the T&C Foundation and girlfriend of SK Group CEO Chey Tae-won, worked as a Chinese intelligence agent.

Judge Kwon Min-jeong from the Criminal Division 6 of the Seoul Eastern District Court conducted the initial hearing on the 11th for Park, a man in his 50s, who has been brought to court charged with defamation via misleading information under the Information and Communications Network Act. Park had previously received an indictment without being detained in April.

Park is charged with disseminating misleading information, such as claiming on his YouTube channel last year that Kim was highly likely to be a Chinese spy.

The prosecutor asked the court to impose an 8-month jail term on Park, saying, "The accused made unfounded and unreasonable statements and posted videos of those comments, which worsened the severity of the offense."

Park confessed to all the allegations.

The trial judgment for Park is scheduled for the 9th day of the following month.

Supreme Court Confirms 5-Year Sentence for Jagyeongdan Missionary

On the 11th, the Supreme Court approved a five-year jail term for a woman charged with producing explicit content involving sexual abuse and engaging in acts akin to rape against a child, during her involvement with 'Jagyeongdan,' South Korea's most extensive sex trafficking organization.

The Third Division of the Supreme Court (led by Chief Justice Oh Seok-jun) confirmed the decision made by the lower court, dismissing the appeal filed by Defendant Ms. A regarding allegations of membership in or managing a criminal group and breaching the Child and Adolescent Protection Act (which includes producing materials related to child sexual abuse).

Jagyeongdan was a pyramid scheme operating through Telegram, established in 2020 under the leadership of Kim Nok-wan. The organization gathered personal details from people who shared images of their bodies on social platforms, women who sought arranged meetups, and males attempting to access Telegram's 'Acquaintance Humiliation Room.' Victims were coerced into providing explicit photographs, which were subsequently utilized for producing and spreading sexually abusive content. It has been discovered that Kim Nok-wan was involved in several real-life sexual attacks as well. With 261 victims, including children, this figure surpasses triple the amount seen in the "Doctor’s Room" incident headed by Cho Joo-bin, which had 73 victims.

Kim Nok-wan, who called himself a 'pastor,' gave titles such as 'missionary' and 'potential missionary' to followers while engaging in acts of sexual exploitation. Ms. A, serving as a missionary within Jagyeongdan, was charged with creating child pornography and attempting rape against a male underage victim.

The initial and subsequent court proceedings resulted in Ms. A receiving a sentence of five years in jail along with three years under supervised release. Throughout the legal process, Ms. A asserted, "I was simply an instrument forced by Kim Nok-wan's intimidation and had no intention of participating in criminal activities," however, the highest judicial authority dismissed this claim. The ruling emphasized, "Her involvement in linking victims to Kim Nok-wan played a central and crucial role in the sexual exploitation offenses," acknowledging her as a joint offender due to her direct actions like generating explicit content for certain individuals.

Nevertheless, the Supreme Court found Ms. A not guilty of being part of a criminal organization, determining that Jagyeongdan did not have enough structural organization to qualify as a criminal group according to the Criminal Act. The court supported the previous decision, noting, "No proof exists that Jagyeongdan was capable of systematically committing crimes independently of Kim Nok-wan."

In the initial and subsequent trials related to the Jagyeongdan incident, Kim Nok-wan was sentenced to life in prison. He has filed an appeal against the decision from the second trial, and the Supreme Court is now examining the matter.
