Nigerian man Olarenwaju Idreez Poopola jailed in the UK for raping a woman in her own home


Idreez Popoola
A Nigerian night club bouncer has been jailed for seven years in the UK for raping a woman in her own home. Idreez Popoola (pictured above), 
He 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.
He raped the woman on December 29 before forcing her to drive him to a train station.
Club bouncer Popoola got seven years after being found guilty following a trial at Northampton Crown Court.
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."

Prosecutors said Popoola met his victim while working as an agency-employed bouncer outside Bar So in Northampton town center  He took her out for drinks then managed to convince the woman to take him back to her home. It was in her home that he attacked her.
 
Popoola, 34, was jailed for seven years at a court in Northampton on October 18. He was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life. The court told him he would be automatically deported back to Nigeria on his release from prison.
