A Nigerian man and a woman are in federal custody after being accused of abducting a federal agent in Minnesota, United States.
Oluwadamilola Bamigboye, 24, and Rekeya Frazier, 23, allegedly trapped the federal agent in a car on Wednesday and dropped him off at the New Hope Police Department.
Bamigboye, and Frazier, each face one count of assaulting a Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent in connection with the incident.
According to an FBI affidavit, HSI agents were surveilling an apartment parking lot in Plymouth in search of Bamigboye, who had allegedly overstayed a student visa.
The three agents — two in plain clothes and another wearing a vest that said “POLICE” and “HSI” — approached Bamigboye when they saw him get out of a Jeep SUV driven by Frazier. The affidavit claims the agents displayed their badges and identified themselves as law enforcement
Bamigboye, who had moved to the back seat of the Jeep, asked what kind of law enforcement they were, and when they answered that they wanted to talk about his immigration status, he allegedly told Frazier to get back in the car and drive.
One agent got into the front passenger’s seat in an attempt to stop Frazier from driving off, and another got into the backseat to pull Bamigboye from the Jeep, the filing states.
Bamigboye pushed one agent out of the backseat, and Frazier put the car in drive. The vehicle’s motion caused the passenger’s side door to close, trapping the second agent inside.
“The agent told Frazier to stop the car, warning her “she was making a very bad decision and making the situation worse.”
The agent allegedly fought to shift the Jeep into park while it was still moving, and Frazier told the agent she might crash the car if he didn’t stop and said they were taking him to the police department.
According to the complaint, the agent, who “is on temporary detail for an operation,” was unfamiliar with the Twin Cities and feared he “was being abducted” because he “had no idea where they were going.”
In the backseat, Bamigboye called 911, and the agent yelled to tell the dispatcher who he was.
In a statement, the Plymouth Police Department said Bamigboye told dispatch they were taking the agent to the Plymouth police station, but they ended up going to New Hope instead.
While the car was still moving, the agent pulled out his gun and told Frazier to stop, but she kept driving.
HSI agents in a Ford Explorer had followed the Jeep from the apartments in Plymouth, “at one point inadvertently hitting it from behind in the snow.”
Once at the New Hope Police Department, HSI agents parked in front of the Jeep “to pin it in,” but Bamigboye hopped out and ran to a nearby Hy-Vee, where he was eventually arrested, the affidavit states. Police eventually arrested Frazier after she initially refused to leave her car.
Bamigboye agreed to speak with law enforcement about what happened. He denied that any agents had presented their badges or credentials and admitted to trying to push an agent out of the car and telling Frazier to drive awa
A 25-year-old man, Adamu Abdullahi, was lynched to d3ath in Suleja, Niger State, for allegedly k!lling his mother, Hauwa Sanusi, over dispute on inheritance.
The incident occurred on Saturday, December 13, 2025 following a misunderstanding between the young man and his mother over his share of his late father’s property, which the mother had kept in her custody to prevent it from being wasted away.
Sources told Daily Trust that the suspect, who had just returned after being away for a long period, attacked his mother in the wee hours of Saturday, st@bbing her several times with a knife.
A source, Ibrahim Hassan, told our correspondent that the woman’s screams attracted neighbours, who apprehended the suspect as he attempted to flee and subsequently lynched him.
“From what we gathered, there was a misunderstanding between the late mother and her son over an inheritance. We learnt that after the d3ath of their father, the property was shared and the mother held on to his share believing that it would be wasted away,” he explained.
“So, the young man just came back because he was not even residing in Suleja. Nobody knew where he had relocated to. So, he just came back and attacked his mother. It was mother’s screaming that attracted the neighbours who rushed and found the mother in a pool of blood. Upon sighting the people, he attempted to flee and he was held and seeing the condition the mother was in, some youths started beating mercilessly before he was eventually taken away by the police. The woman was actually his biological mother.”
The spokesperson of the Niger State Police Command, SP Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed the incident but did not provide details on the cause of the misunderstanding.
“On December 13, 2025 at about 1.30am, a report received indicated that one Hawa Sanusi 45yrs of Suleja Area was k!lled by her son Adamu Abdullahi, 25yrs, with a knife during a misunderstanding between them. It was further reported that as a result of this, a group of mob attacked the suspect and he was lynched to d3ath,” the PPRO stated.
“Police operatives of ‘A’ Div Suleja moved to the scene, while the mob members took to their heels, corpses evacuated, the knife was also recovered and effort is ongoing to arrest the mob members.”
