Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole, a 54-year-old Nigerian-born Newark Airport security supervisor was arrested at his home in Elizabeth, New Jersey on Monday morning for stealing the identity of a man who was murdered twenty years ago and using his papers to gain employment.

He was arrested after the Port Authority started an investigation after receiving an anonymous tip.

According to the Port Authority which runs the airport, Mr Oyewole, who came into the United States illegally in 1989, assumed the identity of Jerry Thomas and started working at the airport in 1992.

Jerry Thomas, 41, had been found shot in the head and chest inside a room at the Jamaica YMCA.

Officials believe that Mr Oyewole had no other motive except to gain employment and hide his illegal immigrant status. Port Authority spokesperson Steve Coleman said: “If there was any other nefarious activity, it would have come up on his very frequent background checks.”

Oyewole was vetted by the New Jersey State Police and U.S Customs and Border Protection. FJC Security Services, one of several contractors he worked under, reviewed his birth certificate and social security card.

“During his time with FJC, he had nothing in his record or his performance to indicate a cause for concern, or a reason to question the State Police and federal government’s background checks,” said FJC spokesman Michael McKeon in a statement.

so this guy was working for 20yrs with this alias identity?! and they only found out today?! they should thank their stars that he wasnt a terrorist hell bent on blowing up planes.

Great thread! Also my favorite view.

Oluwole, land him in gologolo.
