Nigerians arrested in Texas for doing a very shameful thing
Two Nigerians are among the 25 suspected child predators who were arrested during a three-day sting in Harris County, Texas, United States, last week, US police announced on Saturday.
Investigators said the suspects used the Internet and social media to solicit sex from minors. The suspects were nabbed after communicating with officers who posed as underage kids between 11 and 15 years old.
They were arrested last week after traveling to meet-up locations where they expected to receive sexual acts from minors. One of the suspects, Romarcus Marshall a.k.a lilroe32 even showed up with his 2-year-old son, the police reported.
Another was a security guard who had 25 condoms and alcohol.
Seven of the suspects were armed at the point of meeting their would-be victims. Nigerians, Ahmed Balogun A.k.a Jimoh Balo and Olanrewaju Olufemi A.k.a Bobbman77, are currently being held in Harris county jail in Houston facing several child sex charges.
