A video shared alongside the statement showed the suspect in handcuffs being led from an ICE vehicle.

The voiceover in the clip identified Olusanjo as a Nigerian citizen and referred to him as a “criminal illegal alien and convicted sex offender.”

“Los Angeles ICE arrested criminal illegal alien and convicted sex offender Olatunde Abiodun Olusanjo on April 21, 2026, a citizen of Nigeria,” the narrator said.

“Olusanjo’s criminal record includes child molestation, sexual battery, and sexual solicitation.”

He remains in ICE custody while awaiting deportation proceedings.
