Nigerian actor, who appeared in Bollywood movies, arrested at Delhi Airport
Olamilekan Akanbi Ojora, a Nigerian actor, who has also appeared in some Bollywood movies, has been arrested by Indian authorities at Delhi Airport for allegedly overstaying in the country.
Ojora was apprehended by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel on Thursday.
They said Olamilekan M Akanbi Ojora was intercepted around 4 am at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) after security personnel found him roaming suspiciously in the terminal area.
The man had a ticket to Goa on a flight of airline Vistara and when he was questioned, he divulged that his visa had expired, they said.
CISF officials later contacted immigration and central intelligence agencies which confirmed that the Nigerian man’s visa had expired in 2011, officials said.
“The man enjoys celebrity status in his country and has also acted in some Hindi movies. He was living in India illegally,” a senior CISF officer said.
He has been handed over to intelligence bureau sleuths for further probe, the officer said.
