Godson Brume 🇳🇬 pleads guilty to federal firearm possession!!

Godson Brume, the 4th fastest Nigerian man ever, has pled guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm while in the United States on a non-immigrant visa.

The incident took place in February 2025 in Baton Rouge. Brume was in his apartment with another young woman when his ex-girlfriend and mother of his infant child, arrived with the baby. An argument broke out outside the apartment, during which Brume discharged a Glock 43X pistol while the baby was present.

Later, his ex-girlfriend opened the apartment door, saw Brume and the other woman, and a second argument ensued, spilling outside again. Brume discharged the firearm multiple times as the mother of his child fled. Multiple bullet strikes were observed in the apartment complex walls.

Brume also smashed her phone, took the child, and discarded the firearm in nearby shrubs before deputies detained him. He now faces up to 15 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, up to 3 years of supervised release, and possible deportation.

Brume has a Personal Best (PB) of 9.90s over 100m, winning Silver at the NCAA Championships in 2023 and also was a part of the LSU 4x100m quartet that set the NCAA Record of 37.90s in the same year and won the National title.

Nigerian athletes in the collegiate system needs proper orientation about American laws. He should have learned from what happened to some Nigerian athletes like Aniekeme Alphonsus, Mercy Abire, Raymond Ekevwo etc.

Very sad and disappointing. At 9.90s, Brume had everything going for him, yet one moment of anger has put his career and freedom at risk.

Talent can take you far, but character and self-control keep you there. In a country like the U.S., ignorance of the law is no excuse, especially with firearms. Discharging a gun in the presence of a child is inexcusable.

This is a hard lesson for young Nigerians abroad: know the laws, control your emotions, and avoid situations that can ruin your future in seconds.

On top woman matter? Avoiding women at all costs will reduce a man getting into trouble by 80%

He is never an American.

He is on a visa, and paid by the government of the USA to represent their country in a way his country would never have paid him to. So it is their right to associate with the success their salary purchases and dissociate from the vices his character purchases.

what kind of useless high taste that is about to take him to Jail...this is the reason we cannot sanction the use of fire arms by civilians in Nigeria because as you wake up in the morning you will be jumping dead bodies on your way to work, because as small quarrel btw landlord and tenant na gunshots go end am.

People will just be enjoying thier life and will use their own hand to spoil it....to pay $250,000 na beans u know how much be that.

Controlling your temper is very much underrated, but very beneficial.

Funny people that now come to my threads to claim that people that represent Nigeria actually represent other places (the person that runs these accounts knows nothing about sports).

Godson Oghenebrume represents Nigeria and is paid by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) to represent Nigeria.

Must he possess a gun? What if he was in Nigeria, will have access to a gun for any reason?
