Benjamin Ifebajo/Nigeria/Money Laundering

by G. George | June 10, 2026

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Benjamin Ifebajo, a criminal illegal alien from Nigeria, in Atlanta, Georgia, on charges of money laundering.

Money laundering is a serious federal offense involving the concealment of the origins of illegally obtained funds, typically by passing them through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions. Federal money laundering charges carry substantial prison sentences, with penalties increasing based on the amount of funds involved and whether the conduct was tied to other criminal activity.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Ifebajo in the Atlanta area. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Nigeria.
