A nightclub bouncer who was twice spared from being deported from Britain back to Nigeria has been jailed for raping a woman in her own home - months after judges allowed him to stay in the country.
Idreez Popoola, 34, should have been deported in 2006 after his temporary UK visa expired but he was allowed to continue living and working in Britain.
In December 2011 he was arrested and was told he would have to return to his native Nigeria but he successfully appealed the ruling.
Judges granted the nightclub bouncer temporary leave to stay in January 2012 because he had a wife and child.
Then, 11 months later on December 29 last year, he attacked and raped a woman in her own home.
He was jailed for seven years at Northampton Crown Court on October 18 after he was found guilty of rape following a four day trial last month.
Sentencing Popoola, Judge Lynn Tayton told him: 'It was a serious aggravating factor that the rape took place in the victim’s own home as this was an abuse of the trust placed in you by the victim and has undermined her feelings of safety in her own space.'
He was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
Judge Tayton also told him he would be automatically deported back to Nigeria on his release from prison.
The court heard Popoola met his victim while working as an agency-employed bouncer outside Bar So in Northampton town centre.
Gordon Aspden, prosecuting, said: 'Mr Popoola met his victim at a McDonald’s restaurant in Northampton before taking her to a pub.
'He then persuaded the woman to take him back to her home, she said she was reassured by the fact he was a bouncer and thought he would have been subject to background security checks.'
The court heard that almost as soon as he was inside the woman’s house in Northampton, Popoola made strong sexual advances towards her before raping her.
A victim impact statement revealed the woman had suffered depression since the attack and had also been forced to move address as she felt her home had been ‘violated’ by Popoola.
Rapist Idreez Popoola sold mobile phone top-up cards in Nigeria before coming to Britain on a 12-month visa in 2005.
He moved to Croydon, south London, where he trained to be bouncer and gained work with an agency which supplied a nightclub in Northampton.
He was arrested in 2011 on suspicion of providing officers with a false name but no charges were brought.
The court heard Popoola raped the woman before forcing her to drive him to a train station.
Judge Lynn Tayton told him: 'In order to get you away from home she drove you where you wanted to go.
'The victim was very distressed and made contact with Rape Crisis and Samaritans.
'She returned to work in January but was very distressed and, after a meeting with her boss, was persuaded to report the matter to the police.

Someone may ask: What happened to him? London did. These are the people bringing shame to Nigeria.

This guy is a scumbag for sure...

I feel more needs to be said here though. Girls, don't invite some guy you don't really know back to your home. Please don't get me wrong. I am not trying to say it is her fault. This man's actions were reprehensible.

Be smart ladies. Don't become a victim ladies.

He should b sent back to Nigeria to serve his jail term. He doesn't deserve d "good life" of UK's prison

Adaobi....follow me back

and when he is deported,he will mole.st to his heart's desire undetected
I feel sorry for any females in his family and neighborhood

She could have drunkenly consented and later changed her mind when she sobered.Rape in oyinbo land is highly complex and complicated.Sometimes wayward guys that fancies anything in skirts like most nigerians are at the mercy of women they toy with.Guys that thinks they must fvck every woman that sound nice to them or that seem lonely.

adaobi123:

So true. Some people need to be more careful.


Britain need to deport this guy back to Nigeria so that he can serve his stint in prison well. Prisons in Britain are way too comfortable.

Also, why was he allowed to train and get work by an agency when he had no right to be here and work here ??

How did you know that their prisons are comfortable Have you ever been a prisoner in Britain before They might be fed well but being in the prison is very different from normal life. This is regardless of any prison in the world. The prison isn't a comfort zone. Try to stay in your room for a week if you have any and know the kind of mental effects it would have on you.

Excuse my ignorance but did the woman invite home so that they could study applied sciences? I don't know this guy but we cannot rule out malice on the side of the woman as well

Nigerian perverts think the UK is Nigeria where they get away with gang r8pe, child sex.ual molestation and much worse. Here in Nigeria, no week goes by that we don't read of yet another Nigerian-bred male who is either sex.ually molesting a female child or r8ping a female teenager or a female university student. Many Nigerian women and men have failed to teach their sons how to keep their sex.ual urge in check. This is the genesis of this problem.

The UK should deport this Idreez papoola pervert back to Nigeria and he should not be allowed to get a visa to any country again. Nigerian parents, stop raising sons that tomorrow grow up to become perverts, paedophiles, and r8pists. This is becoming a worrisome trend especially within Nigeria thereby making Nigeria a scary place to raise female children.

Visiting or taking a woman to her house doesn't imply she wants sex. A woman coming to visit a man either doesn't imply that she is coming for sex.

Most men foolishly assume that if they go to a girl's house or she comes to visit them, then it means she definitely wants sex, hence why they force it...

Whether these men are immature, have poor social skills or are bad at reading the body language, I don't know. If she says no, take it as maybe next time or never. A woman saying NO should never make a man feel foolish.

I do understand his mindset that he took her to the pub and bought MacDonalds for her, so he is entitled to it... Foolish man indeed; taking actions without thinking of the consequences.
