Sheriff says Nigerian student should be deported

Dundee Sheriff Court.
Dundee Sheriff Court.

A Nigerian student faces deportation from the UK after admitting two charges of placing two young girls and an 18-year-old woman in a state of fear and alarm.

Sheriff Alastair Brown recommended Dennis Ohiomah Ahonsi, 24, of Thurso Crescent, be deported as he remanded him in custody for reports.

Ahonsi had already had his passport retained by the sheriff clerk at Dundee Sheriff Court at a previous hearing after the court was told there was a danger he would flee the country to escape the charges.

Ahonsi admitted that on November 13, at Hilltown, he followed a lone female to her fear and alarm and committed a breach of the peace.

He further admitted breach of the peace on November 16 on Spey Drive by engaging two girls aged 13 in conversation, claiming to be their friend and asking them to accompany them on a walk.

His plea of not guilty to a third charge of, on November 21 on Spey Drive, staring at a 13-year-old girl and placing her in a state of fear and alarm, was accepted by the Crown.

Solicitor advocate Jack Brown told Dundee Sheriff Court that Ahonsi was a student and had lived in Wolverhampton before coming to Dundee to live with his sister in September.

He said he had intended to enrol in a course at Abertay University.

Mr Brown said Ahonsi had not previously offended but accepted what he did were serious offences.

Sheriff Brown said a social work report had indicated Ahonsi was a possible risk and said he would defer sentence and called for a statement from immigration as to their intentions in light of his recommendation to deport him.

He also ordered a supplementary social work report on the assumption that his recommendation was not acted upon.

He added that as the previous report indicates that there “may be a risk” he was against giving him his liberty.

Sentence was deferred until January 21.
