by G. George | November 06, 2026

Aderemi Akefe, a criminal illegal alien from Nigeria, was arrested in Detroit, Michigan, after federal authorities linked him to a history of cocaine smuggling, duty evasion, and alcohol-related driving offenses. Listed among a group of 79 Nigerians identified for deportation, Akefe has prior convictions for conspiracy to distribute and smuggle cocaine, including efforts to avoid paying required import duties on the drug proceeds. Reports indicate he also has a record of driving under the influence, adding to concerns about his impact on public safety.

Immigration officials state that Akefe is subject to a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge, clearing the way for his deportation following his latest arrest in Detroit. He has been described by federal authorities as one of the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens targeted in recent enforcement efforts. Akefe remains in custody while arrangements for his removal to Nigeria proceed.
