An Illegal Nigerian Immigrant Arrested In UK After Living For 20years by peter2012: 12:33pm On May 15, 2012
One Nigerian man, by name Bimbo Olumuyiwa (54 years old) immigrated illegally to UK. When he reached UK, he changed his name Jerry Thomas.

From Bimbo Olumuyiwa to Jerry Thomas! can you Imagine!

Mr Bimbo worked "Jerry" at Newark Liberty International Airport for 20 years in his position as a supervisor, where he oversaw 30 security officers.
His co-workers even knew him as Jerry Thomas.

It turns out the real Jerry Thomas was reportedly murdered in Queens, New York, in 1992.
Mr "Jerry" was arrested on Monday (14th May, 2012) at his home in Elizabeth, UK.

What amazes me is how did succeed to live in UK for 20 years as Thomas jerry?

It is people like Bimbo Olumuyiwa that are damaging our country's image abroad.

Every day is for the thief BUT one day is for the owner.

This guy is a big fool. I mean he should have known that one day, they will find out. He should have made plans and move to another country if he feels he don't want to change the name again. Unlike in nigeria, everything is in records and he should have known. 20 years and he did absolutely nothing to salvage his name or secure a good permit for his real name. Now the official may also be investigating a murder case against him

@ Peter2012,
The guy is in the USA and not in the U.K.
He works at the Newark Airport which is in New Jersey.

As long as he didn't murder the real Jerry Thomas I have no issues with his action. He wasn't an armed robber, etc

By the way, what he did is also done by many other citizens of other countries including the US itself.

yes theres a number of USA citizens in foriegn countries who are hiding from USA authorities..also UK citizens...it is global fraud from all countries....Nigerians are just the ones so overpopulated that desperation sends nigerians into such lives also....Dont forget american man who was sick and going to die with no doctor money..he commits crime so they take him to USA prison where they give him free treatment no matter what the cost is,so as to save his life..The prison is responsible to maintain the life of every pisoner so they do not die where avoidable..yet this man was sent home to die when he was free and honest man...maybe this nigerian man believed prison in USA is better than poverty in NIgeria?? Prison in USA=free medical,free complete dietary needs with basic quality foods,clean houseing with no malaria and other infectious disease (unless by drug use and sex transmital),free education to the highest level you can achieve including PhD....Its not a lie to many nigerians or asians or even some americans e.t.c.-that prison in USA can be better lifestyle than free and honest on the streets of terminal poverty...i bet he was a hard working honest employee during his 20 years there, and thats how he made it so long...lets hope he did not murder to get that identity...
